It's 2032, and in this near-future America, all citizens are chipped and everyone is tracked. It's almost impossible to survive as an undocumented immigrant, but that's exactly what sixteen-year-old Vali is doing. She and her family have carved out a stable, happy life in small-town Vermont, but when Vali's mother's counterfeit chip starts malfunctioning and the Deportation Forces raid their town, they are forced to flee.
Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to her tía Luna's in California, a sanctuary state that is currently being walled off from the rest of the country. But when Vali's mother is detained before their journey even really begins, Vali must carry on with her younger brother across the country to make it to safety before it's too late.
Gripping and urgent, co-authors Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher have crafted a narrative that is as haunting as it is hopeful in envisioning a future where everyone can find sanctuary.

HAUNTING TALE OF UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE: This immersive tale explores immigration and xenophobia from the point-of-view of a teenager whose family are undocumented immigrants. Swiftly told, this story puts the reader in close proximity with the terror undocumented immigrants face daily, prompting the reader to ask important questions about what it means for a human to be deemed illegal.
NEAR-FUTURE SETTING: Readers will be gripped and horrified by this world set in a distant future where there is not only a wall on the border with Mexico but also a wall blocking off California and increasingly xenophobic national policies are being enacted. The world depicted here is one scarily close to our own reality and inspired by soberingly real touchstones.
NY TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR AND CO-FOUNDER OF WOMEN'S MARCH: Paola is an accomplished film director, activist and author and this is her YA debut. Not only is she a co-founder of the Women's March but also a contributor to the New York Times bestselling book about the march, Together We Stand. Paola has been profiled by and has written for numerous magazines, companies, and online journals, which include Elle, Bustle, Estée Lauder, InStyle, Vogue, among others. As an immigrant herself and as someone who has been standing at the frontlines of immigration reform and women's rights, Paola is the perfect person to tell this story. Her writing partner is Abby Sher, an accomplished and award-winning author who has written both YA and adult nonfiction.
