SRP 2013 REVIEW: I thought this was a good book. It was a about a 12-year old girl who has just opposite of normal life. Her mom is always out and she has to take care of their trailer, but along the away she made friends. I think this an excellent book.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: This story had many very descriptive characters. Though some of the characters made me dislike reading the book. It was the main character that saved the story. Also her pet hamster, Piccolo. The story had me feeling the emotions - nervousness, unsettling, love, happiness, annoying-ness :), everything. It was a very good book and made me laugh. I recommend it to anyone.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: This story was really good! It was on the rebecca Caudil list, too. It was so unique! It was very sweet. I would say 6th grade on up, though, it talks about gays and puberty and stuff like that.

SRP 2010 REVIEWS (4): #1) I love it, it is a very inspiring story. #2) I thought this was a great book that demonstrated the independence of a young girl and how she lived with her irresponsible mother and loving and caring dad. It was very moving when the fire occured and when Soula passed away. #3) Addie is waiting for NORMAl.But addies mom has an all ot nothing aproach to life:a food fiesta or an empty pantry, jublilation or gloom her way or no way. #4) I loved this book!!!! I think it is the best book I had ever read in my life. I recomend this book to girls mostly because its about a girl with a wild life and she is just waiting for every thing in her life to get back to normal.
