I read this one with a class for the first time this year and they absolutely love it :)

This book series really is revolutionary. I have never read a book written for kids that so beautifully shows social issues of immigration, racism, xenophobia, and bias from the perspective of a kid. This book and the previous one are so important. I definitely want to have these books in my classroom. They will not only help build empathy, but they will help students make connections to the world we live in now because unfortunately, things have not changed a whole bunch.

Mia is such a loveable character! I love following her and the way that she continuously advocates for herself and her loved ones. The side characters in this book are developed so beautifully. I am so excited to see what happens with these characters in the next book! :)
