Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants

Description

Xenia and the Magic Ants could have been ripped from this week’s headlines.

American sixth grader Xenia Navarro lives with her Mexican mother, an undocumented resident, and her older brother, Lucas, in Pennsylvania. Her American father was killed while on duty in Iraq before marrying Xenia’s mother. Now their mother has been arrested and is about to be deported. Family drama becomes American politics, mixed with science fiction elements.
