Actual Rating: 4/5

Indivisible by Daniel Aleman is a great novel following the story of Matt who lives with his parents and little sister in NYC and is impacted by the unexpected deportation of his parents who were undocumented and came to the US as teenagers. It is a heart-wrenching account of something many young people have been experiencing for the last decade, especially within the last few years with the increasing restrictions on immigration. I really enjoyed reading this as I know of many people who have experienced this exact reality and have never seen it contextualized in a story in this way. I think its definitely a timely read for right now and should be something that teens are reading in school as I think its both affirming for young folks who may be undocumented or children of undocumented parents and also contributes towards their peers developing critical skills in developing empathy and understanding of this social crisis.
