Books with title The Tortilla Factory

In clear and eloquent language, Gary Paulsen pays tribute to a cycle of life--from seed to plant to tortilla. Workers till the black soil, operate the clanking machinery of the factory, and drive the trucks that deliver the tortillas back into the hands that will plant the yellow seeds. With Ruth Wright Paulsen’s expressive paintings, The Tortilla Factory brings forth the poetry and beauty of a simple way of life. “This title is beautiful to look at, and will also fit nicely into units on food, regional culture, art, and many other topics.”--School Library Journal

The Factory was built to control the population and keep the world from destruction. The rules were simple. Fifty people go in and six came out. No one knew what happened inside, and no one cared to find out. Now after thirty years of sleep, The Factory has come back to life. Mae, the orphan and town outcast, knows that being called into The Factory is a gamble, but getting out will make her village notice her again. Javeen has to get out for the sake of his family. With a presumed dead father, and a mother who refuses to take care of her four children, he is all they have keeping them together. The two are called in, ready and prepared to take on the The Factory head on. However, they forget the most important part about this dangerous structure. The Factory always gets what it wants.

Two teenagers from different backgrounds meet by chance in an abandoned building. There, fifteen-year-old Nat hides from someone dangerous while Anna uncovers the truth about her disgraced father who played professional football. They become friends... but can they trust each other? And will their budding relationship thrive despite the secrets they keep? Set in the UK, The Factory explores loss, resilience, and the true meaning of friendship.
