Book Description
When Longarm goes for the gold, murder is all in the family! Just when Deputy Marshal Custis Long thought he’d finally be free to rustle up a few new conquests of the feminine persuasion, two distant cousins show up toting a far-fetched tale of treasure and murder. Longarm would like nothing better than to send these sisters packing back to the backwoods of West Virginia, but they won’t be deterred—even though there are a coupla cutthroats on their trail… Escorting the ladies on their hunt for the Picacho Peak gold turns out to be trickier than he thought—especially when they come across the body of Longarm’s mule-riding cousin Boris, who’d gone ahead of the girls to get the treasure. Now, Longarm must stop a gang of cold-blooded brothers before they take it upon themselves to murder more of his kin…

Book Description
PURA BELPRÉ HONOR BOOK ALA NOTABLE BOOK “An important, must-have addition to the growing body of literature with immigrant themes.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Twelve-year-old Jaime makes the treacherous and life-changing journey from his home in Guatemala to live with his older brother in the United States in this “powerful and timely” (Booklist, starred review) middle grade novel. Jaime is sitting on his bed drawing when he hears a scream. Instantly, he knows: Miguel, his cousin and best friend, is dead. Everyone in Jaime’s small town in Guatemala knows someone who has been killed by the Alphas, a powerful gang that’s known for violence and drug trafficking. Anyone who refuses to work for them is hurt or killed—like Miguel. With Miguel gone, Jaime fears that he is next. There’s only one choice: accompanied by his cousin Ángela, Jaime must flee his home to live with his older brother in New Mexico. Inspired by true events, The Only Road is an individual story of a boy who feels that leaving his home and risking everything is his only chance for a better life. The story is “told with heartbreaking honesty,” Booklist raved, and “will bring readers face to face with the harsh realities immigrants go through in the hope of finding a better, safer life, and it will likely cause them to reflect on what it means to be human.”
