In Spanish. Francisco Jiménez writes of his childhood growing up in an immigrant Mexican family. His narrative is simple, as from a child's point of view, but that same simplicity packs the power of a highly skilled storyteller.

Beautifully and authentically rendered by actor and playwright Adrian Vargas, these 12 stories tell of the almost unendurable journey most migrant campesinos undertake to find the American Dream. The recording concludes with an afterword recorded by the author. Cajas de Cartón is also available in English as The Circuit.

The book is so good and moving, but it is ever so depressing! I would recommend this book as a literary text to explore social justice issues around immigration. I can’t wait to read the second book. I hope however that it will be more uplifting than this first volume in the series.

Fantastic story on the challenges of growing up in a migrant working family.

Este libro es excelente. Me encantó. Me llevó a imaginarme cómo era la vida de este niño y como con tan poco se puede ser feliz. Además de darme cuenta cómo era o sigue siendo la vida de los trabajadores indocumentados en los campos de USA.

lindo libro y gran lección de vida

None of his sequels on audible appear to be in Spanish! I was really looking forward to listening to Pasos Firmes, Más allá de mi y Senderos fronterizos en español. I am so disappointed!

A poignant story, excellently told
