BackstoryBooks | Apr 2, 2024 |    ) zrobinson | Mar 4, 2024 | I appreciated this book but didn’t love it. The dialogue struck me as a little corny at times, especially David’s. Overall, this felt like a book written to deliver a message, but an important and good one. The story had no villains except our broken immigration system. I can’t decide if the ending was perfect or terrible. It will definitely spark discussion and hopefully research. Tragically realistic but the author attempts to instill hope in young readers. (  ) LibrarianDest | Jan 3, 2024 | Efrén is getting along in school just fine (excellent grades, though he's careful not to raise his hand too much so he doesn't seem like a nerd; his goofy best friend David is running for ASB president) when one day his undocumented mom doesn't come home -- she has been picked up by ICE and promptly deported to México. Suddenly he needs to care for his twin little siblings while his dad works overtime to try to pay for a coyote to bring his mom home again, he is getting into all kinds of trouble at school, and even things with his best friend are strained. I was bawling through the whole middle/end of the book; keep the tissues handy 😭. ( ) reader1009 | Jun 3, 2023 |  ) EleeCalhoun | Mar 4, 2023 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
