This is my favorite book of 2023. It was so devastating and enlightening all at once. This book told the gut wrenching story of Pulga, Pequeña, and Chico trying to better themselves by emigrating to the us.

dark emotional inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced

4.0

Harrowing fictional account of three teenagers who flee danger in Guatemala for a better life in the United States. This was almost impossible to listen to because their lives were so difficult but I think sometimes we need to read the hard books to be reminded about how fortunate we are.
