Sanctuary by Paola Mendoza is a gripping near-future dystopian novel that immerses readers in a world where all citizens are chipped and constantly tracked. Set in 2032 America, the story follows sixteen-year-old Vali, an undocumented immigrant surviving in small-town Vermont. Vali’s family has carved out a stable life, but when her mother’s counterfeit chip malfunctions and Deportation Forces raid their town, they are forced to flee.
