This book has an unusual narrative style and often feels meandering, but there are parts of the story, especially towards the end with both sets of children in the desert, that are just devastating. We have all heard stories about the migrant children crossing into the United States but this is the first thing I've read that tries to imagine that journey from the side of the children. Those moments of this novel are heartbreaking and those are the pages of the book I will carry with me moving foward.
