“Sliding Home incorporates many diverse characters including Miguel and his family.

It also has a minor character who is gay. Although this is not a feature of the story, it is a good way to include and show diversity within the story.

As well, there is a lunch swapping scene which highlights the various ethnic foods students might bring for lunch. This is another way to show cultural diversity.

The author does a good job of highlighting Miguel and other new Canadians’ situations and reasons for coming to Canada.

It is done in such a way that readers will learn more about cultural diversity and hopefully become more accepting and understanding of new Canadians…” – CM Magazine, Jan. 2019
