Santuario / Sanctuary

Es 2032, y en un Estados Unidos en un futuro no tan lejano, todos los ciudadanos tienen un chip que los rastrea. Es casi imposible sobrevivir como un inmigrante indocumentado, pero eso es exactamente lo que Vali de diecis嶯s a隳s est?haciendo. Su familia y ella se han labrado una vida estable y feliz en un peque隳 pueblo de Vermont, pero cuando el chip falsificado de la madre de Vali empieza a fallar y las Fuerzas de Deportaci鏮 hacen una redada en su pueblo, se ven obligados a huir.

Ahora fugitivos, Vali y su familia est嫕 desesperados por llegar con su t燰 Luna, en California, un estado santuario que actualmente est?amurallado del resto del pa疄. Pero cuando la mam?de Vali es detenida antes de que su viaje comience realmente, Vali debe continuar con su hermano menor y atravesar el pa疄 para ponerse a salvo antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

Apasionado y acuciante, las coautoras Paola Mendoza y Abby Sher han creado una narrativa que es tan inquietante como esperanzadora al imaginar un futuro donde todos pueden encontrar un santuario.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Co-founder of the Women's March makes her YA debut in a near-future dystopian where a young girl and her brother must escape a xenophobic government to find sanctuary--now in paperback!

It's 2032, and in this near-future America, all citizens are chipped and everyone is tracked. It's almost impossible to survive as an undocumented immigrant, but that's exactly what sixteen-year-old Vali is doing. She and her family have carved out a stable, happy life in small-town Vermont, but when Vali's mother's counterfeit chip starts malfunctioning and the Deportation Forces raid their town, they are forced to flee.

Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to her t燰 Luna's in California, a sanctuary state that is currently being walled off from the rest of the country. But when Vali's mother is detained before their journey even really begins, Vali must carry on with her younger brother across the country to make it to safety before it's too late.

Gripping and urgent, co-authors Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher have crafted a narrative that is as haunting as it is hopeful in envisioning a future where everyone can find sanctuary.
