BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES * RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW Y EN SU PODCAST READ WITH JENNA

Entre los 100 libros mรกs notables del 2022, de acuerdo con The New York Times.

ยซEn esta conmovedora autobiografรญa que no podrรกs soltar, un joven poeta relata la inolvidable historia de su desgarradora migraciรณn hacia Estados Unidos desde El Salvador a los nueve aรฑos, considerada ‘el viaje mรญtico de nuestra era’.ยป โ€”Sandra Cisneros

Viaje. Mis padres empezaron a usar esa palabra hace mรกs o menos un aรฑo: โ€œun dรญa vas a hacer un viaje para estar con nosotros. Como una aventuraโ€.
ย 
La aventura de Javier es una travesรญa de tres mil millas desde su pequeรฑo pueblo en El Salvador, a travรฉs de Guatemala y Mรฉxico, hacia la frontera de Estados Unidos. Dejarรก atrรกs a sus queridos abuelos y su tรญa para reunirse con una madre que se fue cuatro aรฑos atrรกs y con un padre al que prรกcticamente no recuerda. Al viajar solo, a excepciรณn de un grupo de extraรฑos y un coyote contratado para guiarlos a salvo, Javier debรญa tardar solo dos semanas en llegar.
ย 
A los nueve aรฑos, todo lo que Javier puede imaginar es correr a los brazos de sus padres, acurrucarse en la cama entre ellos y vivir bajo el mismo techo otra vez. No puede prever los peligrosos trayectos en bote, las interminables caminatas por el desierto, las armas apuntรกndole, los arrestos y los engaรฑos que le esperan. Tampoco sabe que esas dos semanas se alargarรกn hasta dos meses y le cambiarรกn la vida, junto a un grupo de extraรฑos que acabarรก por cobijarlo como una familia improvisada.
ย 
Una autobiografรญa tan apasionante como emotiva, Solito no solo nos ofrece un recuento รญntimo e inmediato de un viaje sinuoso y casi imposible, sino la milagrosa bondad y el amor que se entrega en los momentos mรกs inesperados. Solito es la historia de Javier, pero es tambiรฉn la historia de millones mรกs que no tuvieron otra opciรณn mรกs que irse de casa.

A young poet tells the inspiring story of hisย migration from El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in thisย โ€œgripping memoirโ€ (NPR) of bravery, hope, and finding family

Among the 100 Notable Books of 2022 according to The New York Times.

ยซA young poet tells the unforgettable story of his harrowing migrationfrom El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in this moving, page-turning memoir hailed as "the mythic journey of our era".ยป โ€”Sandra Cisneros

Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago โ€”โ€œone day, youโ€™ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.โ€

Javierโ€™s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone except for a group of strangers and a "coyote" hired to lead them to safety, Javierโ€™s trip is supposed to last two short weeks.

At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parentsโ€™ arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that a wait him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside a group of strangers who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family.

A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito not only provides an immediate and intimate account of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javierโ€™s story, but itโ€™s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.
