7 - The Land of 10,000 Madonnas



Hattemer, Kate. "The Land of 10,000 Madonnas", New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 2016.

After Jesse Serrano, who was born with a hole in his heart, dies before he can finish high school, his closest friends and cousins set off on a journey to grant Jesse's final wish, to find his birth mother who left when he was an infant. The five high school graduates head on to to Germany, but the lost and grieving teens argue and take a while to become comfortable with each other. The story has six different perspectives throughout the book (Jesse's is shown through flashbacks and his notebook).
