A gripping survival story of a young man trapped, perhaps fatally, during a border crossing, The Jaguar's Children (Houghton Mifflin) is the debut novel from John Vaillant, bestselling author of The Tiger and The Golden Spruce. Héctor is in trouble. The water truck, sealed to hide its human cargo, has broken down. The coyotes have taken all the passengers' money for a mechanic and have not returned. Those left behind have no choice but to wait. Héctor tells of his hopes for rescue, the joys and trials of his life, and what has brought us all to this moment. Both an outstanding suspense novel and an arresting window into the relationship between two great cultures, The Jaguar's Children shows how deeply interconnected all of us, always, are.
