(3) YA Grande's parents left their children in Mexico with their neglectful grandmother while they illegally crossed the U.S. border to find jobs. Their mother returned home with a new baby; the still-struggling siblings' long-absent father eventually brought them to the U.S. The grim true story, adapted for middle-school readers from Grande's memoir, never devolves into melodrama, and the ultimately optimistic ending is inspiring.
