黑暗爆料网 Student Unions has selected Sonia Nazario鈥檚 book, 鈥淓nrique鈥檚 Journey,鈥� for the 2008 Reading Project. In 鈥淓nrique鈥檚 Journey,鈥� the award-winning journalist recounts the true, unforgettable odyssey of a Honduran boy who braves unimaginable hardship and peril to reach his mother in the United States.

Readers can prepare themselves to participate in Reading Project discussions, including a presentation by the author, by reading the book over the summer. Nazario is scheduled to give the keynote speech and host related discussions on Tuesday, October 28.

 鈥淓nrique鈥檚 Journey鈥� is an exciting, eye opening story that captivates readers with detailed accounts of an ongoing situation in Central America. Although Enrique鈥檚 story is about one boy, it鈥檚 the same story shared by many Central American born children. It describes the drive and determination of a child to escape poverty and reconnect with his family. The book is entertaining and very informative. It鈥檚 one of those books you just can鈥檛 put down,鈥� said Corinne McCullough.

Nazario, a projects reporter for The Los Angeles Times, has spent more than two decades reporting and writing about social issues and has earned dozens of national awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for her series, 鈥淓nrique鈥檚 Journey,鈥� which is currently being turned into a miniseries by HBO.
