Summary
Libertad, 12, lives with his mother and his younger brother, Julio, in a shack just outside the Guatemala City dump, where they forage for useable garbage to sell. Papi has been gone for years to the United States to seek… employment, and the family has been displaced by soldiers from their mountain village home. When Mami is killed - buried alive in the garbage that has, until now, sustained them - Libertad and Julio attempt the treacherous and illegal trek to America to find their father. Grades 5-8. c2008.
