I really enjoyed this novel. I thought it gave a wonderful portrayal of Naomi's experiences and provided an imaginative world for readers to step into.
My only frustration was the portrayal of the parents. While I felt that their lack of a role in their children's lives was very realistic and authentic I worried that readers may perhaps then be left with the impression that that was a typical situation for Latino/a children. I would just want to be sure to include some supplemental examples of Latino/a life where parents did take an active role in their children's lives.
