{"product_id":"mexique-mara-jos-ferrada-9780802855459","title":"Mexique: A Refugee Story from the Spanish Civil War","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn May 27, 1937, over four hundred children sailed for Morelia, Mexico, fleeing the violence of the Spanish Civil War. Home was no longer safe, and Mexico was welcoming refugees by the thousands. Each child packed a suitcase and boarded the \u003ci\u003eMexique\u003c\/i\u003e, expecting to return home in a few months. This was just a short trip, an extra-long summer vacation, they thought. But the war did not end in a few months, and the children stayed, waiting and wondering, in Mexico. When the war finally ended, a dictator--the Fascist Francisco Franco--ruled Spain. Home was even more dangerous than before. \u003c\/p\u003e This moving book invites readers onto the \u003ci\u003eMexique\u003c\/i\u003e with the \"children of Morelia,\" many of whom never returned to Spain during Franco's almost forty-year regime. Poignant and poetically told, \u003ci\u003eMexique\u003c\/i\u003e opens important conversations about hope, resilience, and the lives of displaced people in the past and today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e María José Ferrada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802855458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802855459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eerdmans Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 9.10w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e516628 \/ Mexique: A Refugee Story from the Spanish Civil War\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020 pg. 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021 pg. 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"María José Ferrada","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042882449663,"sku":"9780802855459","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d464807-c10e-4c8f-bdba-e8e56cf30ee3.jpg?v=1684964066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mexique-mara-jos-ferrada-9780802855459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
