Just like Front Desk, this book is phenomenal. Here we get to see the story of Mia, her parents, Lupe and Jason continued. This time though they are dealing with a huge issue: undocumented immigrants. The state is voting on an important Proposition that could really affect these immigrant families and Mia feels very strongly about doing her part to stop it from happening. I really love how raw and real this story was. We really get to feel all of the emotions of each character and get a peek into what this might be like for families all over the world. I love that this book also shows young readers that you are never too young to fight for what you feel is right. The things you do may seem very little but can make a huge difference! Such an inspirational and timely story for how our world is right now.
This is another of the best book I read! I enjoyed reading this one and it was inspiring. I just read this book in 4 days and the story keeps me intrigued. This book was based on the author's experience while she was a kid. This book really amazed me because it also mentions our country here. The last book I read is somehow connected to this book and I was like it was just a coincidence. The last book I read is also about social justice and the fight for justice and this book is also about that. And I am proud of the immigrants who are in the US because they still fight for justice:)
It's called "Three Keys" because of the three main characters of this book. I loved this book because it was about immigrants in the US. The author included her life in this book which makes me inspired. While reading this book, I feel sad for those immigrants who live in the US, especially the kids. Immigrants should stand up for their rights and that's what they do in this book. Also, I searched for Prop 187, which is mentioned here in this book and it was real. After they passed the Prop 187, I feel sad for the immigrants. So, there's a lot of emotions while I read this one. Everyone should read this book.
