In the last few years, the news has become saturated with headlines about deportations and separated families. But when teachers and friends notice something is wrong, will Efrén find the courage to share the truth? Efrén’s story is not uncommon. Stepping in to care for his siblings while Apá works overtime, Efrén tries to channel Amá’s superpowers. When he arrives home from school, Amá is gone.
Although their apartment is small and money is tight, Efrén knows he has a lot to be thankful for. To Efrén, Amá is a Soperwoman! Living undocumented in the United States, Amá and Apá both work hard to provide a better life for their children.
Efrén’s favorite spot to read is the bathtub-when he wants to hide from his twin siblings, that’s where he retreats, though the smell of Amá’s delicious sopes always has a way of drawing him out. A timely story of one boy’s fight to reunite his family, save a friendship, and stand up for justice.
