Halfway to Somewhere

Not only is Ave stuck in Kansas after moving from Mexico, somewhere where they don't speak the language, but they've also just found out their father and beloved sister won't be joining them in the United States. Instead, Ave is starting middle school with no friends and no idea what to do next. Beautifully written and illustrated by Jose Pimienta, this is both a timely immigration narrative and a moving story that will strike a chord with anyone who's felt alone.
