2010 Américas Award Winner (opens in a new window):
Return to Sender is as much a book about politics as it
is a book about a friendship, and the transformative
power it can have to sustain and nurture entire
communities even in the midst of chaos. Miraculously
the relationship between two young people: one, a
Vermont farm kid who fears his family might not be
able to keep their farm in tough economic times, and
another, a young Mexican girl who wants only the
chance for her family to live safely together, working
and supporting themselves with dignity, elucidate some
of the major social, political and economic concerns of
the day. Alvarez’s cast of characters includes people of
all ages and political perspectives, and readers cannot
help but conclude that getting to really know and
understand our neighbors is the only way to improve
life for all who live in the United States. (Grades 5-9)
