Becoming Naomi Leon
Becoming Naomi Leon by Pam Munoz Ryan
A great story told well! Naomi lives with her brother and grandmother in a trailer park. Naomi's mother abandoned them and they do not know about their father. When their mother shows up to claim Naomi (but not her brother who has special needs) the family travels to Mexico to find her father and his family. Naomi learns a lot about her father's family and sees their influences and talents in herself. Will she find enough support and strength to stand up to her lying mother?
