This book is happy then sad then happy again. At the beginning it is happy because she got to see her family in Cuba. It is sad because she gets in a car crash and breaks her leg and in a body cast for a year.

I think that this book was an enjoyable read and told a story of immigration. Just one question. Why is she in bed so long for just a broken leg?

This book helps me realize the troubles people are going through.

I LOVED THIS BOOK SOOOOO MUCH! It was so good. Even though it's about a girl who had to stay in bed for years it is so interesting! It is really amazing how the author wrote so much detail on everything, and she took so much time telling about the main character's feelings! Me and my grandmother read this book together and after we finished she took it home to read it's so good! MUST READ!
