Adrian Vargas
In Spanish. Francisco Jiménez writes of his childhood growing up in an immigrant Mexican family. His narrative is simple, as from a child's point of view, but that same simplicity packs the power of a highly skilled storyteller.
Beautifully and authentically rendered by actor and playwright Adrian Vargas, these 12 stories tell of the almost unendurable journey most migrant campesinos undertake to find the American Dream. The recording concludes with an afterword recorded by the author. Cajas de Cartón is also available in English as The Circuit.

This story was written in very comprehensible Spanish and read by a good reader. Most important, the story was sensational! I could visualize the two boys waving to the train conductor. I could imagine the family's anguish when the baby got sick. It was a very touching story. I listened to it twice.

Where does Cajas de Carton rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Absolutely loved this book! It was assigned reading in my conversational Spanish class and I could not put it down. I read it numerous times and then decided to purchase it on audible to help improve my Spanish listening comprehension. The narrator is wonderful for a beginning Spanish speaker because he doesn't speak too fast. The story of Francisco's life is very moving and will definitely make you rethink the illegal immigration situation in this country. I highly recommend this book as well as his next 2 books which follow his life through graduation from college.What was one of the most memorable moments of Cajas de Carton?
When his sister used his pennies to buy gum and then their house burned down. My heart just ached for him and his family.Incredible Story!
