This book was better than My Sister's Keeper movie, and it made me cry for a while. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoyed My Sister's Keeper and enjoys feeling so connected to the story that you cry. Therefore, my prediction would be partially right, but there will still be something that is completely unexpected to make the story interesting. I wish that the hints in the book were a little easier to put together. I predicted that the founder of Hilltop House was Heidi's father. I finished this book to see if my prediction would come true. I thought it was like a secret code or something. It also made me interested because I wanted to know what So B. I picked this book because after reading the back of the book, it reminded me of My Sister's Keeper, the movie, and My Sister's Keeper was an enjoyable movie. She sets out on a quest to discover the history of her family. After the word "soof" from her mothers vocabulary begins to bother her, Heidi is determined to find the meaning behind this word. Heidi doesn't know much about herself or her mother. It has a mental disability and Bernadette has agoraphobia(an anxiety disorder).

Mostly, it’s a really sweet book, and I’ve found that girls in particular really enjoy it.Heidi lives with her mother, So B. It’s been a few years since I read the whole book, but I can’t think of anything that would offend anyone. I even bought it for my niece who is home-schooled. Her desire to know more about her mother’s past and the meaning of the mysterious word leads Heidi on a cross-country journey to discover who she really is.ĭoes it pass the “ Home School Mom Test“? Yes. However, her mother uses the word “soof,” which has Heidi completely puzzled. Her mother speaks very few words, most of which Heidi can understand. Heidi knows little of her past or her family. Synopsis: Twelve-year-old Heidi lives with her mentally disabled mother but is mostly cared for by their agoraphobic neighbor. What a great demonstration of how we need to persevere! She released the rolled-up tube, and the string of rejection letters ran the entire length of the over-sized science lab. She held it up and declared that she’d saved every rejection letter she received before having her first book published.

It You can't miss what you don't remember ever having.


She was discussing rejection when she reached into her bag and pulled out a rolled-up tube of laminated paper. In my mind the beginning of a life, especially if it seems destined to be a challenging one, deserves the most promising name you can come up with. One particular part of her talk really made an impression on me. I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah Weeks when she visited one of my previous schools for an author visit.
