When Ruthie moves to New York from Cuba the other kids think she’s not smart because she doesn’t know much English. Just when she starts to fit in, she gets into a bad accident. People say she’s lucky to be alive, but being stuck in a body cast for a year sure doesn’t feel lucky!

Lucky broken girl

Review by ninjafox

I loved this book sooo much. It was very well written and had lots of details and plot twists. It is certainly not one of my favourite books because I found myself having to stop reading because I was bored. I feel like for the level of reading this book is on the main character should have been more mature and less childish, since she acted a little younger her character didn't relate to me in any way so I found it hard to understand her struggles and decisions.

Such a Sweet Story

Review by Lillianswine

Just recently finished this book and I was blown away. Ruthie is such a sweet, wholesome character and her view of the world is such a new, fresh perspective. Would definitely recommend.
