(3) YA Fifteen-year-old Gabriela survives the massacre of her village and subsequent journey to a Mexican refugee camp during the civil war in Guatemala. Based on a true story, this is a terrifying, sad, but ultimately hopeful novel. Readers who can get past the graphic but appropriate violence will be rewarded with a deeper understanding of the costs of war.
