Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with the weight of the world, whether through their own mental health journey or a growing awareness of social injustice. This powerful novel follows Alberto, an undocumented immigrant experiencing the onset of schizophrenia, and Grace, a high achiever feeling lost after her parents' divorce. Their lives intersect during a high-stakes mystery that explores themes of trust, systemic bias, and the courage to seek help. While it deals with heavy subjects like mental illness and domestic abuse, it is ultimately a story about being seen and supported. It is best suited for older teens (14+) who are ready for a realistic, nuanced look at the intersection of neurodivergence and the immigrant experience.
