Hood River County ReadsNineteen-year-old Nayeli works at a taco shop in her Mexican village and

dreams about her father, who journeyed to the US to find work.

Recently, it has dawned on her that he isn't the only man who has left

town. In fact, there are almost no men in the village--they've all gone north.

While watching The Magnificent Seven, Nayeli decides to go north herself and recruit seven men--her own

"Siete Magnificos"--to repopulate her hometown and protect it from the

bandidos who plan on taking it over. Luis Urrea
