Illegal by Francisco X. Stork
4.0
Sequel to Disappeared
I listened to the audiobook and appreciated the aunticity added by the Spanish accents of the voices and that there was a male and female narrator
Sara is a journalist who has been investigating the disappearances of girls from her hometown in Mexico. She and her family have been threatened, forcing her and her brother Emiliano to flee to the US. While crossing the border, things go horribly wrong and Sara turns herself in and requests asylum. Emiliano, however, flees and tries to seek protection with his father. However, the people pursuing them are determined and do not give up easily. Emiliano must figure out a way to protect himself, his family, help his sister, and get the information they smuggled out to the right people.
Lots of action and adventure. Kept me on the edge of my seat (figuratively). Such important issues; a great discussion book.
CW: violence, drugs, sex/human trafficking. (I can't remember if there was swearing) Grades 8 and up
