This is such an important book right now. The reality is out there, and this book does a great job bringing the reader right into the action. This book touches all the emotions as the characters try to find their way to a better future. I appreciate that it is contemporary times; these things are happening right now. The author handles the journey accurately.

Wow! This was quite a book. I read this in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. It was heartbreaking to see Simi and her family go through to get to the US for a better life. Unfortunately much of this is true to life. I know students at my school that have been through much to be here. Such an important read!
