The Far Away Brothers: Adapted for Young Adult Readers
The Far Away Brothers has been adapted for young adult readers.
“Markham tells the story honestly and vividly, and while at times the book reads like fiction, she inserts her expertise as well as facts and data on the issue. Readers will get a very human glimpse into the lives of two immigrants while also learning more about the larger picture of immigration in the United States. A must for all young adult nonfiction shelves.”
