this is the worlds best book ever! I lived in Germany for a year and can relate to ruth about how it felt to be new and not speak the language. I will bring this book to sleep away camp forever

Lucky Broken Girl is an amazing book and I will definitely read it again. Because the author herself was in a body cast for a year, there was a lot of emotion/feeling in it. That helped me to go through the journey with Ruthie and understand what was happening more fiercely than I would have otherwise. This book also taght me about what it is like for a immigrants who come to America without knowing how to speak English, since Ruthie and her family come from Havana, Cuba to Queens, New York and don’t know how to speak English at first. Overall, it is a book that is worth reading at least once.

i loved this book if you like sad stories this is good and it also teaches you about friendship

This book was really good and one of my friends really loved it! Though it is not my favorite this book is pretty good and I would definitely recommend it

I loved this book because Ruthie is so strong and courageous. She makes me feel as though I can do anything and I can be very strong-willed when put in a difficult situation. The only complaint I have is that it feels like the book took a while to truly begin and start the plot, maybe it is just me and but it definitely has an amazing plot when the story truly starts. This definitely a very good read and it helps you have lots of empathy for others, even my librarian who has read many books has this as one of her favorites this year! Thank you so much Ruth Behar for creating this amazing, beautiful memoir.
