Tunnel Kids (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of Tunnel Kids Friday, August 7 2009.

• Beneath the streets of the U.S.-Mexico border, children have come from all over Mexico to find shelter and adventure in the drainage tunnels that connect the twin cities of Nogales, Sonora, and Nogales, Arizona. This book opens up the world of the tunnel kids and tells how in this murky underworld of struggling immigrants, drug dealers, and thieves, these kids have carved out a place of their own. Maeve Hickey's stunning portraits provide a heart-stopping counterpoint to Lawrence Taylor's incisive prose. Story and photos together open a window into the life of the tunnel kids. Where most people might see just another gang of doped-up, violent children, Taylor and Hickey discover displaced and sometimes heroic young people whose stories add a human dimension to the world of the U.S.-Mexico border.
