I was surprised to see this is the second book by this author that I have read. I thought the writing was a little rough, but it maybe was my reading that sucks a bit. The story though, that was very good. I enjoyed reading it very much. I didn't know about the doughnut ladies that near to the combat!!
A Mexican girl recruits her friends to cross the border into the U.S. to find her father, among others, and bring them back to her village to defend them against bandits. A wonderful book. There were some very humorous parts. And sad ones, too.
