From just the summary, this seemed uninteresting to me at first, but I was endeared by this rich story and the Martín family's mission and antics. The characters were so lovable and I felt that they were a very realistic representation of a complex family. There were silly moments but also down-to-earth ones which brought topics like family, identity, war, and loss into the spotlight to learn from. This would be a great graphic novel to teach!

I loved Abuelito's ever-present role. Pedro idolized him, putting his achievements and history (while still noteworthy!) on a pedestal and exaggerating Abuelito's reality. He is someone to look up to for Pedro, but it also created a separation of “hero“ vs. not. When Pedro is in a situation closer to one like Abuelito's past deeds, he suddenly realizes the role that humanity plays, which I think solidified their bond as people, not superheroes.

The Martín family's border experiences sat heavy on my chest as I read, especially considering what is going on in the world now. Even though they are innocent, their experience was still tainted by corruption, and this affected them all later even after learning and growing and enjoying themselves in Mexico. This is very eye-opening to families' worries and traumas as they cross borders today, and it would be good for students to sympathize.

I really like how there is a mixture of Spanish and English in the story. It keeps it accurate to his experiences in his own memoir, rather than having everything in English. It‘s something I don‘t often see and I appreciate it.

I'm not particularly enjoying the artwork in this graphic memoir so far, but I did spot an Italy!
