Beautiful novel in verse with setting in 1981 Guatemala and based on actual events. In a deadly struggle between guérillas and ‘Communist rebels‘, it is always the families and villages who get caught in the crossfire. Courageous young Carlos understands this is his time to defend his village and get the vulnerable innocents to safety. Heartbreaking, credible, and so well written.
