10) I look just like him.-Sara Caulder

I am in love with this book! Honestly when I first began to read I was so unsure of where the book was headed that I began to get bored. I pressed on reading and by page 35 I was hooked. From the moment we learned about Skyla and the mystery of who she was this book captured my heart. Such a great book that so many children I feel like can seem to relate to. I also thought this book was even great for adults to just curl up and put yourselves in Naomi's shoes. It's almost as if some of the time Naomi herself has to act like an adult the way she takes care of Owen and helping out Gram. The entire time reading this I felt as if I was reading her diary and the lists that she makes are so simple but have so much meaning. This is such a great read and learning all about the Mexican culture at the same time is fascinating.
