Into the Beautiful North is about nineteen-year old Nayeli who lives in Tres Camarones, a Mexican town nearly empty of men, including Nayeli?s father, after most have gone to the U.S. to seek work. Inspired by the classic film, "The Magnificent Seven," Nayeli and her three closest friends are commissioned by the new village president, to travel north into the U.S. to bring back men to protect their town from encroaching drug dealers.

In this classic quest tale, Luis Alberto Urrea uses humor and compassion to address issues of cultural differences and depict the many borders in life that both divide and connect.
