Winner of the Pura Belpre Award! "We need books to break open our
hearts, so that we might feel more deeply, so that we might be more
human in these unkind times. This is a book doing work of the
spirit in a time of darkness." -Sandra Cisneros, author of The
House on Mango Street Efren Nava's Ama is his Superwoman-or
Soperwoman, named after the delicious Mexican sopes his mother
often prepares. Both Ama and Apa work hard all day to provide for
the family, making sure Efren and his younger siblings Max and Mia
feel safe and loved. But Efren worries about his parents; although
he's American-born, his parents are undocumented. His worst
nightmare comes true one day when Ama doesn't return from work and
is deported across the border to Tijuana, Mexico. Now more than
ever, Efren must channel his inner Soperboy to help take care of
and try to reunite his family. A glossary of Spanish words is
included in the back of the book.
