Touted as one of the best coming of age stories, I was expecting Finding Sagrado to follow the typical timeline of a teenager transitioning from youth to adult. I do enjoy reading about the timeless process that has been around since humans were created, sometimes the typical aspect of it gets a big boring. I was pleasantly surprised that this book wasnt the lackluster age-old storyline that most similar books follow. There is a lot of depth to the details of Shanes life and even though the setting is in days of yesteryear, the struggles and lessons Shane dealt with are still relevant. It is also one of those novels that gives you a glimpse into the struggles of a few decades ago and how we have progressed socially since then and what we still need to work on. I also love the redemptive aspects of some of the minor characters who teach that it is never too late to live a better life if we just keep trying. I cant wait until my grandsons are old enough to enjoy this story that is told in such a way that it really grabs your attention from the first chapter all the way through to the last.

This book pays homage to Richard Bradford's Red Sky at Morning. It is well written with well-developed characters that the reader (whether a teen or older) can identify with. It is important for teenagers who read this to remember that it is fiction and that they should not attempt the same things as Shane, the main character in this story. While it is slightly unrealistic that a runaway would bother with enrolling in school, the characters he befriends add elements to the story that teens can identify with. Also, the fact that it is set in 1971, a time when most of today's teens' parents were born, will open the door for discussions about the drug and alcohol use and sexual themes that are part of this story and will show teen readers that their parents do understand what they deal with in today's world. Overall, this is a good and enjoyable story of a teen finding himself in a world of confusion.
