Author: Jeanine Cummins
This is an incredibly timely book, the novelisation of a situation affecting thousands in the real world. ‘American Dirt’ is the gruelling story of a mother and son trying to cross the US-Mexico border. It is a tale of how much a mother is willing to go through to ensure her children have the best life possible.
It is fast-paced and gripping which will mean you’ll read well into the night to find out how Lydia and Luca’s story ends. It is incredibly moving and will change your world view.
