This book caught my eye as I walked through the bookstore. I just picked it up, hoping that it’d be appropriate for my 6th grade students. Let me say, I can see so many of my kids in her story. So many of my students live in the fear that she did, and the connection she was able to make with the reader was indescribable. I feel that this is a great read for kids to relate to, and would recommend it for anyone who wants to read a first-hand account of the struggle many Latinos, and immigrants, face.
