Desde las calles de Stockton hasta las playas de Venice Beach, y hasta la frontera con México, Aquà estuvimos narra el viaje de autodescubrimiento de un niño que intenta perdonarse a sà mismo en un mundo implacable.
Cuando sucedió, a Miguel lo enviaron al centro de detención juvenil. El juez lo sentenció a un año en una casa hogar para menores; dijo que tenÃa que escribir en un diario para que algún consejero pudiera tratar de entender su forma de pensar. El juez no tenÃa idea de que en realidad le habÃa hecho un favor a Miguel. Desde que sucedió, su madre ni siquiera habÃa podido mirarlo a la cara. Cualquier hogar que no fuese el suyo serÃa un lugar mejor para vivir. Pero Miguel jamás pensó que conocerÃa a Rondell y a Mong, y en todo lo que sucederÃa cuando huyesen. Solo pensó en llegar a la frontera con México, donde podrÃa empezar de nuevo. Olvidar a su mamá. Olvidar a su hermano. Olvidarse de sà mismo. Sin embargo, la vida no suele funcionar como uno cree. Y la mayorÃa de las veces, escapar te lleva de regreso al mismo lugar del que una vez huiste. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Newbery Award-winning author Matt de la Peña's We Were Here is a fast, funny, smart, and heartbreaking (Booklist) novel repackaged for a new generation of readers. A Vintage Español Original. When it happened, Miguel was sent to Juvi. The judge gave him a year in a group home--said he had to write in a journal so some counselor could try to figure out how he thinks. The judge had no idea that he actually did Miguel a favor. Ever since it happened, his mom can't even look at him in the face. Any home besides his would be a better place to live. But Miguel didn't bet on meeting Rondell or Mong or on any of what happened after they broke out. He only thought about Mexico and getting to the border to where he could start over. Forget his mom. Forget his brother. Forget himself. Life usually doesn' t work out how you think it will, though. And most of the time, running away is the quickest path right back to what you're running from. From the streets of Stockton to the beaches of Venice, all the way to the Mexican border, Aquà estuvimos follows a journey of self-discovery by a boy who is trying to forgive himself in an unforgiving world.
