Halfway to Somewhere by Jose Pimienta is a stunning graphic novel that embarks on a coming of age journey with a middle school teen navigating their parent's divorce while moving to a new country.

Ave thought moving to Kansas would be boring and flat after enjoying the mountains and trails in Mexico, but at least they would have their family with them. Unfortunately, while Ave, their mum, and their younger brother are relocating to the US, Ave's father and older sister will be staying in Mexico... permanently. Their parents are getting a divorce.

As if learning a whole new language wasn't hard enough, this middle-schooler now has to figure out a new family dynamic and what this means for them as they start middle school with no friends.

Jose Pimienta's stunningly illustrated and thought-provoking graphic novel is about exploring identity, understanding family, making friends with a language barrier, and above all else, learning what truly makes a place a home.
