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.
