ストーリー
I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is 12 hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story.

kira-kira (kee' ra kee' ra): glittering; shining
Glittering. That's how Katie Takeshima's sister, Lynn, makes everything seem. The sky is kira-kira because its color is deep but see-through at the same time. The sea is kira-kira for the same reason. And so are people's eyes. When Katie and her family move from a Japanese community in Iowa to the Deep South of Georgia, it's Lynn who explains to her why people stop them on the street to stare.

ストーリー
Winner of a Pura Belpré Award, this middle grade Cuban American coming-of-age novel is inspired by the author's own experience. When Julian's parents make the heartbreaking decision to send him and his two brothers away from Cuba to Miami via the Pedro Pan operation, the boys are thrust into a new world where bullies run rampant and it’s not always clear how best to protect themselves.
あらすじ・解説
At the age of 14, Francisco Jiménez, together with his older brother, Roberto, and his mother, are caught by la migra. Forced to leave their home, the entire family travels all night for 20 hours by bus, arriving at the U.S. and Mexican border in Nogales, Arizona. In the months and years that follow, Francisco, his mother and father, and his seven brothers and sister not only struggle to keep their family together, but also face crushing poverty, long hours of labor, and blatant prejudice.
How they sustain their hope, their goodheartedness, and tenacity is revealed in this moving sequel to The Circuit. Without bitterness or sentimentality, Francisco Jiménez finishes telling the story of his youth.

Great continuation of The Circuit. Interesting and engaging story especially for YA to learn how different groups of people have and continue to live in the US. The narrator is great and brings the great characters to life.

This is a wonderful story about the strong family values and work ethic of Mexican migrants. It brought back memories of grade school friends sorely missed when they had to move on with their family to the next field job. I still wonder about them and wish I could find them. This book is set in the 1960s and the struggles and racism this family experienced, while appalling, seem almost quaint compared to the experience of migrants today. There were moments in the book when I was on the edge of my seat because I expected a very different outcome. In today’s world, if la migra had picked up Francisco they could have shipped him to Nogales without any notice to his parents and dumped him on the border, day or night. There would be no legal option for this family to return to the U.S. Their only option to return would be to risk their lives by illegally crossing the desert on foot. Hundreds die every year on that journey. Given that status, when Francisco’s father accidently sawed off his finger or when his infant sibling needed care, this family would have been extremely reluctant to seek medical help. Francisco might graduate from college with honors but he would never be allowed to actually teach in the U.S. I was touched by the many teachers, employers, and counselors who reached out to this family and am saddened that our society has become so mean spirited that we can’t make room for those who would make such good citizens and good neighbors. I hope that those who are using this text to teach will contrast this family’s experience with our current immigration policies.

Well Done!
Where does Breaking Through rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Narrator Adrian Vargas does a terrific job with this story! I really enjoyed his work.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love the way Francisco (Panchito) Jimenez tells his story with humor and humility.
Have you listened to any of Adrian Vargas’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, this was the first by Mr. Vargas.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The story is told with humor and Mr. Vargas brought out the lightheartedness of many situations in the plot. It certainly made me laugh.
Any additional comments?
I have read the novel several times (I teach it in my reading class). I was worried that an audio would not capture the emotions in the book, but my worries were completely unnecessary. Mr. Vargas does a wonderful job of bringing life to this fabulous story.
