A coming of age story of fifteen-year-old Cuban American Mariana Ruiz who's father runs for president. As Mari starts to see him with new eyes. A novel about waking up and standing up, and what happens when you stop seeing your dad as your hero—while the whole country is watching.
This was a perfect example of how the voices of the young (teens) can change the world. It touches on topics such as;
𝖼𝗅𝗂𝗆𝖺𝗍𝖾 𝖼𝗁𝖺𝗇𝗀𝖾,
𝗂𝗆𝗆𝗂𝗀𝗋𝖺𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇,
𝖼𝗈𝗋𝗋𝗎𝗉𝗍 𝗉𝗈𝗅𝗂𝗍𝗂𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗇𝗌 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝖿𝗎𝗇𝖽𝗂𝗇𝗀,
𝗅𝗀𝖻𝗍𝗊𝗂𝖺 𝗋𝗂𝗀𝗁𝗍𝗌.
This is an important book for young adults to read in high school and middle grade and know the importance of voicing their idea𝗌 and opinions. I hope that it receives a wide audience. Thanks to the author for an eARC , an own voice latinx representation.
