Benny Ramírez and the Nearly Departed by José Pablo Iriarte

5.0

Something I particularly enjoyed about this one is that there isn't really an antagonist, just a family working through some changes and struggles, partly in parallel and partly together. I don’t read enough middle-grade fiction to know whether this is part of a larger trend in that market segment but I like that there are stories for younger readers that are centered on something besides animus or violence.
