    Reviewed by hoopsielv for TeensReadToo.com

    CHRONICLES OF A NOMAD is a work of fiction that is inspired by a true story.

    Carlos was born in Venezuela and shares his experiences and memories growing up. He is an extremely intelligent boy who attended both private and public schools. He was often labeled mischievous, curious, and, sometimes, a troublemaker.

    His country dealt with times of turmoil and Carlos enters the United States on a tourist visa. There are many adjustments to make dealing with life in America and attending high school, yet Carlos never gives up. Each step he takes gets him closer to a dream.

    This is an inspirational story of a young man's journey to find his place. The road he travels is long and full of obstacles, but he sets his sights on what he wants and conquers each step. The story will be enjoyed by teens as well as adults, as it provides a close look at the immigration process through a young man's eyes.

    I am a staunch supporter of sending all illegal immigrants home. There is a legal way of entering this great country. Our great country is not going to be able to handle many more illegal immigrants. With that said, Alvarez tells of the difficulty of becoming a legal citizen.
    Perhaps more interesting, he tells of life in his homeland of Venezuela. His parents interested me with their good and bad qualities. They have a sense of character one can only have when they have experienced one hard time after another. Alvarez¿s willingness to work and value of education is something all Americans should learn from.
    Though my thoughts on illegal immigration still have not changed, I am a bit more empathetic. Alvarez writes in an entertaining, quirky style that is conversational. This is based on his life as an immigrant and the stories of other immigrants. Seeing America through his eyes will give you a sense of patriotism. From air-conditioned schools and free refills to the use of signal lights, Alvarez shares the small amazements of America.
