Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. This autobiography is about a young girls (grande) life who lives in Iguala de la Independencia in southern Mexico. Her parents leave her and her brother in her grandmothers care. This is in search of a better life in the US. Grande deals with poverty and abusive in the home that she is in. Her mother comes back but leaves once again, leaving the children in a bad place once again. Eventually the father comes back and takes the children to US. The children deal with pain once again, deportation, learn a new language and cower under their father's abusive treatment. I would not use this book as a read aloud because it deals with very heavy topics. I would have it in my classroom as an option in the library. This honest first-person account may be a mirror for many readers, allowing them to see reflections of their own strengths, possibilities, and hopes. For others, it offers a humanizing window into the Mexican American experience. VERDICT An important addition to any library serving middle grade students, given its compelling narrative and the gap it fills in the available memoir subgenre for this level. -School Library Journal I liked this book because it's telling me how hard this girls life is. I also like this book because it's telling a true story that almost made me feel empty inside because I know how it feels when your mom leaves you home with grandma. This girl is staying with her uncle and her cousin. This book makes me feel empathy. This book explains a lot about a young girls life. That is how I think of this book. I would give this book a three star because it was the best book I have ever read. I would also give this book a three star because it was sad. Really liked this book also because of its cover. This book was also one of the most exciting and interesting story I've ever read. This book gives me the studders because the girls was super poor with her makeup mom. That is why I like this story. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
