Land of Broken Promises is an emotionally raw middle-grade novel in verse that sheds light on the difficulties of visas (keeping and gaining access) in the United States.
Anna and her family have had a successful year - the business was thriving and Anna was making friends at school. After discovering their visas have expired, however, Anna begins to worry about what this means for her family and feels very alone with no one to talk about it with.
I love novels in verse. This one used delicate emotion to transport readers into Anna's experiences in a concise yet powerful way.
