Great story!

This is about Maria having a Christmas celebration with family. She has a new cousin named Ruben. At church she sees a lonely Mr. Liuez so they invite him to their party.

The tale of the redemption of a sociopath through the power of love and protecting children.

My favorite part was when the volcano erupted.

It was one of the good ones. And I like how they made the books long.

I liked the book because it has a page that reads "zzzzz". I like that sound. The pictures are also really nice.

Very thought provoking. Though published in the 90s many points hold true today and have become increasingly relevant as racial tensions rise in America. I marked so many interesting facts and thoughts I ended up buying my own copy to keep all my notes in haha

Piggie makes me wish I could fly. This is a very funny book.

Got hooked on the Tracy Crosswhite series this spring and I’ve just about finished all of them. We all knew there was something off about the domestic violence/self defense claim with the beginning case, that lady turned out to be a psycho :( The case of Kimi was so unbearable tragic. No spoilers but man...the reveal of how she died may be one of the more messed up murders in this detective series. Kimi did not deserve any of that!!!!

I enjoyed it, but I almost felt like Sweetie was too perfect--Ashish was a good, kind person, but he also had some flaws which made him feel more real/natural, whereas Sweetie was presented as an almost perfect person which took me out of the experience. Plus, there were moments where Ashish's romantic feelings felt a bit too intense (as in, the way that Menon described it felt a bit sacchrine). Lastly, I wish Ashish's basketball issue (his lack of balltopia) had more time on the page since the only time it ends up really being mentioned is when they play HORSE and it turns into making out and then at the end when he finds balltopia again (although it's not clear if it was just a coincidence or what)
