The Undocumented, by acclaimed filmmaker Marco Williams, is Marcos’s story—as well as the story of countless other migrants. Risking their lives, encountering thieves, gangs, police, thirst, hunger, physical danger, wild animals, border patrols and desert storms, the children manage to reach their destination. From the territorial expansionist policies that decimated the young economies of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Cuba, to the covert operations that imposed oppressive military regimes in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador, Harvest of Empire provides an unflinching look at the origins of the growing Latino presence in the United States. Read this book if you like suspense, adventure, or like to know how immigrI really didn’t know much but when I read the first few pages,I liked it. And it shows how teachers can help students understand the immigrant experience and the drama of border life.
I think this story is a good suspenseful introduction into larger chapter books.

An epilogue, set ten years after the events of the story, shows that you can't always count on dreams, even the ones that come true.
