Train Kids

"Train Kids" by Dirk Reinhardt tells the gripping story of a dangerous escape undertaken by five teenagers who set out for the USA. Miguel, Fernando, Emilio, Jaz, and Ángel, who have only recently met, must travel more than two and a half thousand kilometers through Mexico. As stowaways on freight trains, they face not only hunger, thirst, heat, and cold, but also numerous dangers such as accidents, bandits, and corrupt police officers. The book addresses the inhumane border and immigration policies and offers a captivating adventure story about friendship and solidarity. Reinhardt conducted on-site research for maximum realism, which adds informative value to the book. The memorable writing style and serious background make "Train Kids" a highly recommended read for young adults.
