'Because of Javier' written by C.C. Black (Kindle)
March 2026
This is more like a novella; it's a fast read.
Loved it! It was so cool to see how the three main characters, all teens (2 guys and a girl) all juniors and each from a different culture, in the same high school, were friends who decided to stand up and rally the rest of their high school, and more, to stand up and protest against ICE immigration agents raiding their neighborhoods using shock and fear, spreading terror throughout their community, and yanking people out of their homes in the dead of night! They tried grabbing kids as they were leaving school.
This is what happened when these teens started a protest movement that went viral!
Two thumbs up! 👍👍
