Pasquale's Journey

Author: Marilyn Freeman

The journey described in the book Pasquale's Journey is a familiar immigration story. The opening of the novel finds Pasquale and his family waiting at home in Italy for word from his father who has traveled to the United States ahead of them. When Papa finally sends for the family, Mama must sell the family farm and prepare everyone for the voyage. The long, difficult sea passage does not diminish the family's happiness upon arriving in the United States. The reading level and content matter make this book an appropriate choice for intermediate-level (grades 3-4) elementary school students. The book is also well-suited for TESOL students at any level.
