So good!!!

Review by MaineKid

I really like the way this book is written. The thing I like about it is that there are different people’s perspectives. I can’t put it down once I pick it up!

So good!

Review by ehel3301

This might actually be the best book I have ever read. It starts with a girl named Benvenida, who is forced to leave her home in Spain when King Fernando and Queen Isabella tell all of the jews to leave Spain, or be burned at the stake, or convert to Christianity. Then it goes to Reina a girl living in turkey who gets disowned by her father after an act of dishonesty and is sent to Cuba. Then it goes to Alegra who is Reina's daughter in Cuba who is in the middle of the rein of Fidel Castro. And Alegra goes to Miami with her parents. Last there's Alegra's daughter Paloma, who goes on a trip to Spain with her mom (Alegra), her dad, and her grandma (Reina) to learn about their sephardic history. This is a really good book and I strongly recommend it.

Review by cupcakemuffin

The story sadness is like the hook on string catching the fish, but instead makes you need to read the rest. The suprise at the end is tears of joy and cries wishing they could've met again. All of these girls are deeply rooted to their Sephardic traditions.
