Read this book for Multicultural Library Services class. Nicely done tale of the risks and rewards(?) of crossing from Mexico to the U.S. by children. A little too "happily ever after" and, yes, a glossary would be helpful for non-Spanish readers, but internet translations are easily accessible, and it would break the flow to be repeatedly turning to a glossary. Generally, I think not knowing the exact meaning is not critical to understanding or appreciation of this YA title.
