This was a delightful way to highlight the talents of Mia, Lupe, and Jason. Despite the reality of their situation, this book shows how each of them has grown. With Mia's voice, Kelly Yang illustrates how young people might internalize their feelings. 

From taking on narrow-minded views to cultivating a space for themselves, the adults and kids in this story find triumph on their terms. This series a great way to engage young readers and ask them about their experience and how they relate or don't relate to the characters.
