I read this book with my Latino English language development class. We created a journal with maps of Lupita's journey, character maps of both Lupita and her brother. The class really enjoyed the book, both boys and girls. They learned so many lessons, not just related to vocabulary and comprehension. They discussed and related to modern problems of the INS, retaining one's culture while adapting to a new one, etc. It is a great read for middle schoolers.
