The Secret Side of Empty by Maria E. Andreu
4.0
What a powerful book. I was hooked the entire time. The story jumps right in to M.T.'s life and struggles as an undocumented student. This is something I have a very strong connection to, working in the public school system. It was well written, engaging and thoughtful. The end was wrapped up a bit too abruptly for me, but the rest of it was great.
