I liked this book as an adult reading a YA book it was entertaining. It described some sad situations revolving around being an illegal immigrant and first gen child.
I like that the end didn’t have a resolution to his mom being deported because often that is the reality of these kinds of situations.

Absolutely amazing middle grade novel about the trials of a seventh grade child of undocumented immigrants. I would recommend this as required reading for anyone that teaches or works with the immigrant population. A very realistic portrayal of their lives.
