Check out my full video review: https://youtu.be/woBAdBTkVXg
Santiago’s Road Home follows Santiago who after being thrown out of his aunt’s house, decides to immigrate to America with a young mother and her daughter. On the border they get picked up by ICE.
This book follows very relevant and important events happening right now. We see and learn about how kids truly are being treated at the immigration/holding centers. I have read similar books before, and they always hit deep in the guts. This one stands out because we follow a such a young person, and the author really makes us love and care for Santiago. It is a sad journey, but still a hopeful one. Truly a powerful and important book, for everyone and everywhere, especially in today’s environment. I was sad, but also my heart leaped for this very real story. 4/5 stars.
