(3) 4-6 Two Guatemalan siblings, twelve-year-old Santiago and four-year-old Angelina, witness the burning of their village and the murder of their family during a military raid. The children find their uncle's sailing canoe and undertake a treacherous journey to Florida. Mikaelsen is careful not to sensationalize the children's heroics in this harrowing survival story.
