Discussing The Far Away Brothers (Adapted for Young Adults): Two Teenage Immigrants Making a Life in America by Lauren Markham

Pizza Provided!

Hosted by Greenlight bookseller Micah, the YA Book Group is a space for the curious young reader interested in a curated, intentionally diverse and broad selection of books. While literature is of course at the core of this book group, cultivating our very own community and connections are also at the root of YABG, so if this sounds like a good time to you, come join the fun! Note: Young Adult Book Group is geared toward readers ages 13+.

For April, the group discusses Lauren Markham’s The Far Away Brothers, adapted for young adults from the award-winning adult edition. An inspiring true story, the book follows Ernesto and Raúl Flores — identical twins — who escape El Salvador’s violence to build new lives in California as undocumented immigrants. A powerful account of contemporary immigration, The Far Away Brothers is perfect for anyone interested in learning about the issues that underlie today’s conversations about DACA and immigration reform.
