Solito, Javier Zamora (5.0)
Anyone living in the US should read this book. It puts a face to the many nameless illegal immigrants coming into the country. It’s easy to label them all as criminals, but following a child who came across with strangers, shows the real desperation many immigrants have. I really liked that this book was told from the author’s perspective as a nine-year-old. His voice was authentic and innocent. He is from El Salvador and this is his story of travelling across 3 countries to join his parents in the US. While the journey was heartbreaking and scary, my faith in humanity was revived seeing how many people wanted to help a young boy.
