Title: Becoming Who You Really Are
Review: Naomi lives with her younger brother, Owen, and their grandmother in a trailer park in Lemon Tree, California. Naomi's grandmother has always been a mother to her since her real mother left her at a very young age. One day, Skyla, Naomi's mom, shows up to their home unannounced and wants to take Naomi to live with her, her boyfriend Clive, and Clive's daughter. Gram is completely against this idea and decides to take Naomi and Owen to Mexico to find their father in hopes that he will be able to help them not to have Skyla take Naomi away. Through the journey to search for her father, Naomi is finally able to find her voice. She discovers who she really is and more about her Mexican-American culture. This is such a great and inspiring story that is able to connect with readers on so many levels. This story also addresses cultural differences and tolerance for those with special needs.
