Halfway to Somewhere is a graphic novel that follows 12-year-old nonbinary kid, Ave, as half of their family move from Mexico to Kansas, US. Ave’s mother gets a job at a university and since Ave and their brother was born in the US (although they spent their life in Mexico) they were able to move with their mother. Ave’s older sister and dad were born in Mexico and can’t immigrate to the US with the rest of the family. At least that's what Ave was told. Yes, this is true, but their parent’s are also divorcing and won’t be reuniting like they claimed they would. Ave’s younger brother adjusts to the move easily and embraces American culture. Ave however misses Mexico and misses their friends home. They also think they can’t make friends due to their “broken� English. Ave thinks that if they enjoy life in Kansas that they are completely turning their back on their home in Mexico. Throughout the book, Ave comes into their own and learns to find themselves in this new place as well as in Mexico. I loved this book and think it shows a unique perspective on the moving process.
