HTML: "'La frontera'...I heard it for the first time back in the late 1940s when Papa and Mama told me and Roberto, my older brother, that someday we would take a long trip north, cross la frontera, enter California, and leave our poverty behind." So begins this honest and powerful account of a family's journey to the fields of California � to a life of constant moving, from strawberry fields to cotton fields, from tent cities to one-room shacks, from picking grapes to topping carrots and thinning lettuce. Seen through the eyes of a boy who longs for an education and the right to call one palce home, this is a story of survival, faith, and hope. It is a journey that will open readers' hearts and minds. . 880 Lexile W Raz-Plus immigrants non-fiction ddc BK 0 4800 4800 0 0 ddc 0 0 FIC 001 001 SBS 2024-10-14 0 JIM 813.54 FIS00973 2024-10-14 14:41:51 1 2024-10-14 BK 0 0 ddc 0 0 FIC 001 001 SBS 2024-10-14 0 JIM 813.54 FIS05385 2024-11-20 09:16:34 2 2024-10-14 BK
