#MassIncarceration #SLJreviewed #ChildrensNovel(UpperEl) #MiddleSchool #DadInPrison #Immigration From School Library Journal: "This first novel is peopled with three-dimensional characters whose imperfections make them believable and interesting...The well-structured plot is underscored by clear writing and authentic dialogue, and short chapters keep the story moving...[A] novel that encourages understanding, tolerance, and forgiveness is as welcome as the returning swallows." --Nancy Menaldi-Scanlan, formerly at LaSalle Academy, Providence, RI
