When their grandmother falls ill, cousins Miguel and Ramón set off across the Arizona and New Mexico desert on a beat-up Vespa scooter, encountering the Grand Canyon, ancient Native American sites, and a cast of characters who help them grow into young men. The journey becomes a transformative rite of passage. This is an engaging choice for students because it pairs road-trip adventure with real coming-of-age stakes.
