Theodore Taylor The Maldonado Miracle
Harcourt Children's Books 2003 015205037X / 9780152050375 Hardcover New in Near Fine dust jacket
New hardcover with no remainder mark. No wear on boards. DJ has some minor shelf wear. Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; 0.73 x 8.48 x 6.36 Inches; 168 pages; Twelve-year-old Jose Maldonado used to dream of becoming a fine artist. But this son of a poor Mexican farmer now focuses on survival, not art. After Jose's mother died, his father left to work in the United States, leaving Jose on his own in Mexico. When it's time for father and son to reunite, things go terribly wrong. Jose's attempt to cross the border is harrowing, and his stay at a migrant worker camp turns into a nightmare, forcing him to flee for his life. Hiding out in a church seems a wise thing to do--until the blood dripping from his wounded shoulder lands on a statue of Christ. Now everyone thinks the statue itself is bleeding. Jose's accidental "miracle" kick-starts a media frenzy--and threatens the future of an entire town.
Theodore Taylor's riveting story of faith and desperation inspired the September 2003 Showtime movie The Maldonado Miracle, directed by Acadamy Award nominee Salma Hayek.
