Teens will be unable to put down this book filled with drama, hope, and family conflict, including great Latinx representation.

The audiobook provides an excellent portrayal of the emotions Mari feels throughout the story, giving her internal struggle added depth. This book examines politics from a unique angle and could give insight into the election process to teens.

This powerful novel will provoke much discussion on topics like the political machine, youth activism, and environmental justice. Highly recommended for all libraries.
