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!

Kind of boring

Review by AwesomePerson1

Pretty boring and had no real suspense or plot. More on the inspirational side

A Must Read Book.

Review by Mint

I like how Ruthie over came her problems and how Danielle become her best friend! Though I don't like how some of the parents treated Ruthie. They should of been nicer to her because she was going through so much emotionally and physically.

Review by skysky18

This book is a must. Lucky Broken Girl by Ruth Behar is so good. Sometimes it was sad, most times it was happy. I never could put the book down. I would stay up until 11 still reading this book. When you are reading it, it feels like you are actually in the story. Read it to find out the book. (actually please read it. you'l love it)
