Ganador del Christopher Isherwood Prize en 2022

BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES * RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW Y EN SU PODCAST READ WITH JENNA

Entre los 100 libros más notables del 2022, de acuerdo con The New York Times.

«En esta conmovedora autobiografía que no podrás soltar, un joven poeta relata la inolvidable historia de su desgarradora migración hacia Estados Unidos desde El Salvador a los nueve años, considerada 'el viaje mítico de nuestra era'.» --Sandra Cisneros

Viaje. Mis padres empezaron a usar esa palabra hace más o menos un año: "un día vas a hacer un viaje para estar con nosotros. Como una aventura".

La aventura de Javier es una travesía de tres mil millas desde su pequeño pueblo en El Salvador, a través de Guatemala y México, hacia la frontera de Estados Unidos. Dejará atrás a sus queridos abuelos y su tía para reunirse con una madre que se fue cuatro años atrás y con un padre al que prácticamente no recuerda. Al viajar solo, a excepción de un grupo de extraños y un coyote contratado para guiarlos a salvo, Javier debía tardar solo dos semanas en llegar.

A los nueve años, todo lo que Javier puede imaginar es correr a los brazos de sus padres, acurrucarse en la cama entre ellos y vivir bajo el mismo techo otra vez. No puede prever los peligrosos trayectos en bote, las interminables caminatas por el desierto, las armas apuntándole, los arrestos y los engaños que le esperan. Tampoco sabe que esas dos semanas se alargarán hasta dos meses y le cambiarán la vida, junto a un grupo de extraños que acabará por cobijarlo como una familia improvisada.

Una autobiografía tan apasionante como emotiva, Solito no solo nos ofrece un recuento íntimo e inmediato de un viaje sinuoso y casi imposible, sino la milagrosa bondad y el amor que se entrega en los momentos más inesperados. Solito es la historia de Javier, pero es también la historia de millones más que no tuvieron otra opción más que irse de casa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An Alex Award in 2022

Winner of the 2022 Christopher Isherwood Prize


NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY - RECOMMENDED ON THE 'READ WITH JENNA' PODCAST-

A young poet tells the inspiring story of his migration from El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in this "gripping memoir" (NPR) of bravery, hope, and finding family

Among the 100 Notable Books of 2022 according to The New York Times.

«A young poet tells the unforgettable story of his harrowing migrationfrom El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in this moving, page-turning memoir hailed as "the mythic journey of our era".» --Sandra Cisneros

Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago --"one day, you'll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure."

Javier's adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone except for a group of strangers and a "coyote" hired to lead them to safety, Javier's trip is supposed to last two short weeks.

At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents' arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that a wait him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside a group of strangers who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family.

A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito not only provides an immediate and intimate account of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier's story, but it's also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.

Nice to have a wider shoe! Nice color and seems to be good quality so far!
The fit ran a little bit small compared to Nike brand. Size chart at a shoe store I felt he needed a 1.5 (with room to grow still), ended up ordering a 2.5 which may have been a tiny big but works for his feet to grow. Love that it's wider. Cute color

Cute, durable kids' shoe at a great value
Size: 11.5 Big Kid, Color: Navy/Citron
These worked out great for our 5 year old with flat feet - he absolutely loves them, says they are very comfortable and help him "run FAST!" The colors look super cute, I'm very pleased with the durability over several months (particularly, the hook & loop closure has held up better than other brands we've tried...), and they seem to offer great support while not being too heavy. Highly recommend, and will buy again.

Durable Shoes
Size: 3.5 Little Kid, Color: Blue/Black
Most brands have scuffed toe pads or poor quality Velcro. My boys go through 3-4 pairs of shoes a year. Our family loves saucony for the quality, comfort and durability.

Great shoes
Great shoes, but definitely designed for narrow feet! if your child has wide feet,i recommend choosing a different style as these run very, very narrow.

Great colors!! Love the soles are not white. Good price
Size: 10.5 Big Kid, Color: Navy/Citron
Held up better than expected. So far only keens had held up to my son's play. Update-- after 2 months of wear the sole began to peel off/separate at the front of toe of shoe where that " upwards tab" is located.
