5.0
Written from the perspective of a 9 year old boy expressed so well all the confusion, anxiety, embarrassment, and excitement from that age. He starts off as a normal kid playing with action figures, but is quickly forced into impossible situations where he still tries to be strong. The journey is treacherous and the ending had me in actual tears. Also a big shout out to Chino for going above and beyond to be kind and protective.
Graphic: Racism, Excrement, and Deportation
Moderate: Alcoholism and Abandonment
