INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Giff, Patricia Reilly

Until I Find Julian

(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Mateo goes to the U.S. from Mexico in search of his brother Julian; the family is worried that they haven't heard from Julian recently. Mateo meets Angel, who helps him on the long desert trek. Mateo's "I Remember" entries connect him (and readers) with people, places, and moments that sustain him. Giff's gentle, well-paced story puts a human face on headlines and abstract immigration policies.
