Chile, this book is good. A middle grade book that tackles the harrowing tribulations of undocumented people, racism, discrimination, poverty and much more with way more aplomb than books for "grown-ups" often do. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. If more people acted like the heroine of this book, the world would be in much better shape.
