This book is about Mexican immigrant children, their journey to America and their process to become "legal". This book is written through the lens of the author who is a Mexican interpreter for the children. I thought it was really creative how the book was written based on the questions on the questionnaire that the children would have to answer during an evaluation on if they could stay in America or not. I liked that the book was written in plain words making it easier to read and digest.

I read this in a book club and I'm glad I did so in a group setting. As a group we were able to talk through our emotions and thoughts which were all heavy. I felt like I left more informed on what happens with Mexican immigrant children during their journey to America and all that they go through once they are here.
