3 About Into the Beautiful North Nineteen-year-old Nayeli works at a taco shop in Tres amarones, a tiny Mexican village in Sinaloa, and dreams about her father, who left home along with most of the village s other able-bodied men, to find work in the U.S. While watching The Magnificent Seven, Nayeli decides to go north herself, find her father, and recruit seven men her own Siete Magnificos to repopulate her hometown and protect it from the bandidos who plan on taking it over. Filled with unforgettable characters and prose as radiant as the Sinaloan sun, Into the Beautiful North is the story of an irresistible young woman s quest to find herself on both sides of the fence. REVIEWS...deliciously composed...[urrea writes] in a sweet but serious style...you find it in the dialogue...you find it in the description of the countryside...the plot gathers as much strength as the prose... Alan heuse, hicago Tribune Awash in a subtle kind of satire...a funny and poignant impossible journey...into the Beautiful North is a refresh-ing antidote to all the negativity currently surrounding Mexico. Roberto Ontiveros, Dallas Morning News No great adventure is told without great characters, and Urrea certainly knows how to create them...that Urrea has turned a usually disturbing subject into a book that keeps a smile on your face is a tribute to his storytelling. Miami Herald [A] wondrous yarn in the hands of a terrific storyteller... Urrea s meticulous detail makes the story come to life... Not to trivialize, but these characters cry out for a sequel maybe a telenovela? They are too good for just a single outing. Valerie Ryan, Seattle Times 4 5
4 THEMED EVENTS All events are free and open to the public.

BOOK DISUSSIONS Reading Together encourages as many people as possible to read and discuss the same book. We expect that many local library, church and private book groups plan to read and discuss Into the Beautiful North. If you are part of one of those efforts, we want to know! There are several ways you can inform us: Facebook: Reading Together ReadingTogether@kpl.gov Phone: So that we can keep track of discussions and make the community aware of those that are open to the public, we will maintain an up-to-date list on the Reading Together website. In addition, the following local businesses have agreed to host book discussions that are in need of a place to meet: Biggby offee, 6800 S. Westnedge Biggby offee, 3216 Stadium Drive Biggby offee, 5132 S. Westnedge affee asa, 128 S. Kalamazoo Mall hocolatea, 7642 S. Westnedge Panera, 5119 West Main Panera, 5627 Gull Road Panera, 5970 S.

6 DISUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Into the Beautiful North tells the exceptional story of a small group s successful mission to save their village in its bleakest hour. What are some of the other themes that Luis Alberto Urrea unpacks along the way? 2. Language and dialect play an integral role in the novel s style. Spanish words and phonetic spellings are laced throughout, and Spanglish and slang are used on both sides of the border. What does Urrea achieve by mixing language in this way? What does it say about the ability of language to bridge or not to bridge cultural gaps? 3. Into the Beautiful North is divided into two parts Sur and Norte. References to American pop culture abound in the first half as Nayeli and her friends speak of life across the border with unwavering certainty. Where do their ideas of America come from? How does the reality of their time in the U.S. compare to their initial ideas of it? Are they surprised or disappointed? 4. Nayeli tells García-García, Perhaps it is time for a new kind of femininity? What does she mean? Given the homage to The Magnificent Seven and Seven Samurai in the novel, how has Urrea played with gender stereotypes? 5. Into the Beautiful North examines physical and psychological borders. Urrea repeatedly shows that while the physical borders can be crossed, some that are culturally defined appear unbridgeable. What are those culturally defined differences, and do you think it s possible to eradicate such invisible borders? 6. After traveling thousands of miles in search of her father, Nayeli is unable to confront him. In your opinion, does she make the right decision to heed his words at this time all things must pass or should she have approached him? 7. What do you make of the overwhelming turnout produced by Aunt Irma s interviews? Why do so many men want to return to Mexico? Does this strike you as ironic? 8. Nayeli and her friends are inspired by the movie The Magnificent Seven, a remake of the Japanese film Seven Samurai. Both films climax with the showdown between good guys and bad guys, but Urrea ends his novel before such a clash. Why do you think he did so? 9. Were you surprised to find the Mexican characters so knowledgeable about American pop culture? If you were surprised, did it change how you think about Mexico? 10. Where did your family emigrate from? Did you recognize any parallels between your family stories and this one?
