They say a person's life flashes by before dying. But it's not his whole life. Just the events that led to this. The important ones, and the ones Santiago would rather forget. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe coins in Santiago's hand are meant for the bus fare back to his abusive \u003ci\u003eabuela\u003c\/i\u003e's house. Except he refuses to return; he won't be missed. His future is uncertain until he meets the kind, maternal Mar a Dolores and her young daughter, Alegr a, who help Santiago decide what comes next: He will accompany them to \u003ci\u003eel otro lado\u003c\/i\u003e, the United States of America. They embark with little, just backpacks with water and a bit of food. To travel together will require trust from all parties, and Santiago is used to going it alone. None of the three travelers realizes that the journey through Mexico to the border is just the beginning of their story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandra Diaz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1534446230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781534446236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\/Paula Wiseman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.60w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e511356 \/ Santiago's Road Home\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2020 pg. 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2020 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020 pg. 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2020 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Alexandra Diaz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44055305453823,"sku":"9781534446236","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b25a08f-a295-47f3-941b-33c7c4b6639d.jpg?v=1685034953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/santiagos-road-home-alexandra-diaz-9781534446236","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
