so-soBook 11
After seeing his mom get taken by ICE, a tween boy sets out to find his aunt's house in NYC. The misadventures are continuos, exaggerated, and cringey, as if she's trying to fill a predetermined page count. I'm not a fan of how children's literature expliciltly declares the characters' thoughts and emotions, robbing the reader the opportunity of conjecture. ⭐⭐⭐
I‘m a sucker for stories of kids on their own (e.g., From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler or The Boxcar Children). This one has way more intense tension as the parental separation isn‘t due to a love of adventure or death/abandonment by parents, but due to complicated political and legal processes.
pickWhat a beautiful story! Oh my gosh poor Jason D feels he is running for his life trying to get to his aunt before the police catch up with him while he‘s dealing with the fear that his mother may have been taken from him forever!! Read this!!!!!
Not book related, but I made biscuits to take to my family‘s Easter feast! So excited about how good they are!!! Happy Easter littens!!
I just started this book last night and wow, it‘s so good! I‘m so worried for this poor child!!
Received this #ARC #bookmail today! Love the cover. Don't know much about this one--has anyone read it or heard anything about it? From what I've read, it's an #ownvoices middle-grade novel about immigration & an Afghan-American family 📚
