Book
Barefoot dreams of Petra Luna / Alda P. Dobbs.
"A dangerous journey. A distant dream. Based on a true story. It is 1913, and twelve-year-old Petra Luna's mama has died while the Revolution rages in Mexico. Before her papa is dragged away by soldiers, Petra vows to him that she will take care of her abuelita, her little sister, Amelia, and her baby brother, Luisito, until they can be reunited. They flee north as their town burns, searching for safe harbor in a world that offers none. Each night, though, Petra still holds her dreams close, especially her desire to learn to read. Abuelita calls these barefoot dreams--not meant to go far. But Petra refuses to listen. Through battlefields and deserts, hunger and fear, Petra will stop at nothing to keep her family safe and lead them to a better life across the U.S. border--a life where her barefoot dreams could finally become reality."--Back cover.
