This chapter book is about a young girl named Petra Luna and her family during the Mexican Revolution. The main plot of this book follows Petra and her family walking barefoot north to try and find somewhere where they are safe. Each story follows the chronicles of this time her Petra and what it all came with. I think this is a great historical fiction chapter book to incorporate in a middle level classroom that is comfortable with chapter books and is ready to have discussions about to content in the book. I think that it is great too because it can be a story students are fascinated with and can find empathy for the family in the story and the possibility of having classmates who have families with similar stories.… (mehr)

This would be a great book to read as a class and discuss with students about the cultural dynamics that were happening in 1910, which is when this book takes place. This book will help students to understand what it means to go through hard times and to see what powering through and tackling mountains will get you.

First sentence: It was early, dark still, when crashing sounds startled me awake. I sat up amid the darkness, tense, ready to run. My heart thrashed inside me. Had I heard a cannon blast?

Premise/plot: The Other Side of the River is the sequel to Barefoot Dreams of Petra Luna. It picks up right where Barefoot left off. Petra Luna is with her grandmother, younger sister, baby brother, in a refugee camp. She's trying to find work--any kind of work--to help support her family. This book has them moving to San Antonio and trying to establish new lives in America.

My thoughts: I loved, loved, loved the first book. The second book was wonderful as well. These two books seem so seamless--like they belong together to tell a single story. I loved following her story. I loved the setting. It was engaging and thought-provoking.
