Daniel Aleman is a young adult author whose novels center on the experiences of young Latino characters navigating questions of identity, belonging, and family. His debut novel Indivisible (2021) tells the story of a teenager in New York City whose parents face deportation, and the book was praised for its honest treatment of immigration and family separation.
Aleman has followed Indivisible with Brighter Than the Sun (2023) and I Might Be in Trouble (2024). His work draws on his own Mexican-Canadian background to tell stories about young people caught between cultures and the pressures they face. The books are contemporary YA fiction that addresses serious issues without losing sight of the hope and resilience of their characters.
