Al otro lado del río / Alda P. Dobbs ; traducción de Darío Zárate Figueroa.
Petra Luna, de doce años, está en Estados Unidos después de escapar de la Revolución Mexicana. Ahora que están a salvo, Petra, sus dos hermanos menores y su abuelita tienen la oportunidad de empezar de nuevo, en este país que promete tanto. Sin embargo, también en Estados Unidos Petra ve los extremos de riqueza y pobreza que creía haber dejado atrás, y se cuestiona si es mejor regresar a México para luchar por una vida mejor ahí. Pronto, Petra encuentra que su fuerza y valentía son puestas a prueba mientras descubre por lo que realmente vale la pena luchar.--From publisher's description.
"Petra Luna is in America, having escaped the Mexican Revolution and the terror of the Federales. Now that they are safe, Petra and her family can begin again, in this country that promises so much. Still, twelve-year-old Petra knows that her abuelita, little sister, and baby brother depend on her to survive. She leads her family from a smallpox-stricken refugee camp on the Texas border to the buzzing city of San Antonio, where they work hard to build a new life. And for the first time ever, Petra has a chance to learn to read and write. Yet Petra also sees in America attitudes she thought she'd left behind on the other side of the Río Grande--people who look down on her mestizo skin and bare feet, who think someone like her doesn't deserve more from life. Petra wants more. Isn't that what the revolution is about? Her strength and courage will be tested like never before as she fights for herself, her family, and her dreams." -- Goodreads.
