![]() This is one of the best audiobooks I have read this year. It’s his time to be the “soper-brother” and “soper-son” now. He has to keep his mother’s deportation a secret, even from his best friend David, not to put his whole family in danger. Sometimes, I was amazed by the way he handled everything without losing his mind. To bring her back Apá has to work two jobs and Efrén has to take care of the twins while studying. Efrén describes Amá as a “soper-woman” (she is really good at making Mexican sopes, Efrén’s favorite) Suddenly this little happy family faces troubles as their mother gets deported back to Mexico during an ICE raid. Efrén is the oldest in the family of five. ![]() ![]() The story is about a Mexican family living in California under the risk of ICE raids on undocumented families. It has become one of the best books I’ve ever read. Just when I thought I was too old for all the middle-grade and YA books, I discovered Ernesto Cisneros’s Efrén Divided, the most perfect middle-grade novel ever written. ![]()
