Lost Children Archive

Lost Children Archive / Valeria Luiselli, read by Valeria Luiselli and cast, 383 pgs.

A family embarks on a road trip.  Both parents are chasing their next project and the kids are learning as they go.  The couple are verging on breaking up but are heading to the US/Mexico border to research the immigration situation.  The woman has a friend whose children are lost.  They were brought over the border but nobody know where they are.  The man is pursuing a project involving Native Americans.  The kids are taking it all in and end up obsessed with the lost children so decide to look for them on their own.  This is a story that is interestingly told.  I feel like perhaps an editor was needed to make it excellent.  I enjoyed it but found the audio version a bit too repetitive.
