Little, Brown & Company Indivisible
Book SynopsisThis timely, moving debut novel follows a teen's efforts to keep his family together as his parents face deportation. Mateo Garcia and his younger sister, Sophie, have been taught to fear one word for as long as they can remember: deportation. Over the past few years, however, the fear that their undocumented immigrant parents could be sent back to Mexico started to fade. Ma and Pa have been in the United States for so long, they have American-born children, and they're hard workers and good neighbors. When Mateo returns from school one day to find that his parents have been taken by ICE, he realizes that his family's worst nightmare has become a reality. With his parents' fate and his own future hanging in the balance, Mateo must figure out who he is and what he is capable of, all as he's forced to question what it means to be an American. Daniel Aleman's Indivisible is a remarkable story—both powerful in its explorations of immigration in America and deeply intimate in its portrait of a teen boy driven by his fierce, protective love for his sister and his parents.

Then she receives a letter from her father's current girlfriend, Edie, with some shocking news: her father has died.Trade ReviewThis slim volume is packed with deceptive relationships and bad decisions made through fear, and will cast a chill over the sun lounger despite some implausible resolutions -- Geraldine Brennan * Theguardian.com *A compelling story of an unlikely friendship surrounded by secrets and lies, The Yellow Room is a smart and well written novel that is hard put down. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend * The Bookbag *A realistic look at the deteriorating relationship between a mother and daughter. Be careful who you trust with your secrets, because they might just use to bring you down. If you're looking for a super creepy page turning contemporary, then this is the one for you * Serendipity Reviews *The Yellow Room is so engaging. You know something isn't quite right, but you're not quite sure what. You know it'll end badly, but you're not quite sure how it will end * Luna's Little Library *The language and style of The Yellow Room was perfectly suited for the plot (...) I would recommend it for young teens at 13 years old and above, as it is an enjoyable thriller without the gore that comes associated with the adult genre * famousinjapan.co.uk *Not knowing what you're in for makes this book so much more unputdownable (...) The Yellow Room was such a thrilling, captivating novel and I honestly didn't expect to love it as much as I did. The pacing was fantastic, the characters were intriguing and realistic, and there were moments when I wasn't sure who I could trust...a thought-provoking read that gets more intense with the turn of every page (...) If you're a fan of contemporaries with a dark twist, I can't recommend this novel enough' * Written Word Worlds (Australia) *Utterly gripping. A taut contemporary thriller. * The School Librarina *a fantastically creepy to story to watch unwind. * The Pool *
