Immigration often separates families and often children are left behind while parents go to find work and a better life. What happens to these children when they are reunited with parents that they’ve never really known? Castilla addresses many of these issues and explores the predicaments so many young people are faced with when they reconnect with parents they barely remember. The discussions this book triggers are endless and it is a great resource for exploring current issues. This is a must have for any diverse middle school or high school classroom.
