Eighty Pesos
Antonio loves the miracle of sand turning into liquid fire and then solid glass. Through his apprenticeship, he hopes to become a master craftsman one day. That is, until his sister bursts into the glasshouse with the news that his papá has been wrongfully imprisoned. Antonio promises himself that he will free his father, unaware that this vow will lead him on the quest of a lifetime. His journey begins on the high seas but traverses the most unexpected places—with unexpected people—as Antonio learns that hard work and kindness can provide the truest freedom.

Simple and exciting. Great themes of honestly, hard work and perseverance. It was on my daughter’s 6th grade reading list. Definitely recommend!
