Sanctuary by Paola Mendoza Free PDF Download

Co-founder of the Womens March makes her YA debut in a near future dystopian where a young girl and her brother must escape a xenophobic government to find sanctuary. Its 2032, and in this near-future America, all citizens are chipped and everyone is tracked--from buses to grocery stores. Its almost impossible to survive as an undocumented immigrant, but thats exactly what sixteen-year-old Vali is doing. She and her family have carved out a stable, happy life in small-town Vermont, but when Valis mothers counterfeit chip starts malfunctioning and the Deportation Forces raid their town, they are forced to flee. Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to her tía Lunas in California, a sanctuary state that is currently being walled off from the rest of the country. But when Valis mother is detained before their journey even really begins, Vali must carry on with her younger brother across the country to make it to safety before its too late. Gripping and urgent, co-authors Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher have crafted a narrative that is as haunting as it is hopeful in envisioning a future where everyone can find sanctuary.
