Pedro Pan
One Boy's Journey to America
When the revolutionary movement in the late 1950s becomes a danger for Cubans, Pedro’s family makes the difficult decision to obtain a special waiver that sends the young boy on a freedom flight journey to an Iowa farm to study English and keep safe. This masterfully written story explores an imaginative boy’s story of emigration, flying away like Peter Pan from the villainous pirate revolutionaries and their Captain Hook-like leader.
