Author Ogle always knew he‘d be a writer, but it was a rocky road along the way with violent irrational parents, and bullying by his peers. But one person, his dear abuela, loved him unconditionally and opened her heart and home and helped him stay sane…

Between a pick and a so-so. What I liked was the strong sense of place which really was described well. What I didn't was the narrator, Mai, who was a bit too whiny and self-absorbed for me. I nearly bailed a couple of times but hung on to hear the conclusion.

My grand baby will be 10 tomorrow. Just rude 🤪😅😭

At least I‘m his favorite person in the whole wide world. 💙 AND he loves books and reading.

Loved Rex Ogle‘s first novel Free Lunch, but this one fell really short for me. I enjoy the relationship he has shared with his grandmother, but ultimately I wasn‘t enveloped in this specific book which read more like narrative poetry.

“We can put them in a jar and save them.“

I think this is a great book to talk about saving memories. Growing up is difficult because at such a young age you can't always remember a lot from growing up so this fun story can help you with that.
