It was inspiring and sad. I loved it so much. But DON'T read if you're a super sensitive person. It made me so thankful for where I am today. The little things don't really matter when you're stuck in a full body cast for about a year.
This book is awesome and you should one hundred percent read it. It was so sad, but happy at the same time.
I am so speechless !!! I loved this book so much!! Read it
I can't believe Ruth got into a horrible car accident!
I have not actually finished this book yet- I'm in part II. But despite that, I would recommend to anyone who likes a realistic story, but who can also handle a little drama and scariness. I like this book because I can relate to multiple characters, especially the main character, Ruthie. She is just a Jewish-Cuban-American girl, and she aspires to be like the other girls in her grade, who will become her classmates, as she's being promoted to the regular 5th grade class (which she was not previously in, due to her lack of English). But then she is in a car accident with her entire family and miraculously, suffers only a broken leg, although to make sure that both lags remain even, the doctors put her in a body cast for 6 months at minimum. I can't wait to finish this book, and I may review again after I complete it.
