Wow! my birthday is next week and this is the book I want! The summary looks awesome and I have already read the first one and I love the author!

I recommend that you read cages because it goes back and forth. As soon i as started reading cages it got hooked in so i just wanted to keep reading but this book can get very sad when lady die and Dorthy is in the hospital and Wayne gets in a car wreck for drunk driving. This book was wonderful and sad but you should really read cages if you like books that start out with a bunch of problems and ends with a happy ending.

The book is a realistic fiction story in Penobscot Bay, Maine.In the story it is summer and when summer ends a hurricane knocks on the front door and opens it. I loved the beautiful pictures and maybe you will too. After the hurricane was done a lot of seaweed came near their house so the girls shoveled up the seaweed to use it for fertilizer used for the garden.I hope you love it.

WOW thats looks so cool! I bet if I read it i will understand much more about the Percy Jackson books!

I loved this book so so so so so much!!!!!!! It is a great realistic fiction story!!! It is about a girl, who really wants to play the piano, but then she ends up playing the organ instead. In this story it tells how you don't always get exactly what you want, but sometimes, different is perfect. Since I play the piano, I know what Zoe means by you have to work hard in piano, you can't sit back and relax. My favorite character in this book is Zoe because she is very understandable about things like how when in the beginning when she couldn't get a piano, she learned the organ instead. I also liked how it ended, but I don't want to give it away.

i rlly think its gonna be good and the polar bear is adorbs/adorable and i can't wait to read it :)

Have you ever wondered how the sun came to our side of the world? Many years ago animals were sick of bumping into each other. A possum and a buzzard failed to capture the sun but a little spider spoke up with her little voice and said….to read this book and what you think about it.

Under the Mesquite, by Guadalupe Garcia McCall, is the well descriptive story about Lupita and her family and all of the new challenges and barriers that are introduced because of her mother’s recently diagnosed cancer, and how the group tries to deal and overcome these barriers within their lives. To start off, a majority of Under the Mesquite takes place in Mexico, Lupita’s home country, however, as a six year-old, she and the rest of her family had to move to los Estados Unidos, or the United States because of her father’s newfound job there. In this novel, the most important character of the plot is Lupita, first born out of the eight children conceived by her papí and her mamí, is the one who will be the narrator of the story, telling all of her experiences, both good and bad, in a manner that will make you feel very close and connected with her. The other characters, as previously mentioned are her mamí and papí, who are Lupita’s parents and will also end up being very important to the book’s plot. Finally, the rest include Lupita’s seven younger siblings which are (in order by age): Analiza, Victoria, Paco--all born in Mexico, Tita, Juanita, Rosita, and her baby brother Benito--all of which born in the United States. The plot of the book, Under the Mesquite, is about Lupita, and her brand new challenges that she and her family members must face, all because of her mother’s cancer slowly developing within her. Overtime, she will have to learn how to overcome these decisions and how to accept change within the world and the events that are taking place, and soon will have to take on a new responsibility. McCall’s writing style is very unique when compared to many run-of-the-mill books, as it takes the reader through the massive journey that is of Lupita, with freeform poetry. With this unexpected decision, it still makes the best of it, with McCall, the writing is very descriptive, generating a nearly perfect atmosphere for every single event that takes place, all while giving us a good look at a majority of the main characters’ personalities. Overall, McCall is a very well experienced writing, taking us on a wonderful, descriptive journey through her writing. Here are some quotes from the book to show how well written this novel truly is: “The mesquites listens quietly－as if the poems budding in my heart, then blossoming in my notebook, are Scripture－and never tells a soul the things I write” “All the girls around me dropped their scarlet mouths wide-open, like a circle of Venus flytraps, and laughed hysterically at me” Under the Mesquite by Guadalupe Garcia McCall, is a very well made novel. Just by how simply lovely the description is in each part of the book makes it seem as if you are right in Lupita’s shoes and experiencing how she feels, all of the conflicts within her life, and the way Lupita and her family deals with her Mother's newfound cancer. The novel made me feel as if I was facing all of the hardships she’s facing, sometimes making me filled with glee, others with pity, and sometimes even sorrow. Overall, this book is nearly flawless, having amazing description of the situation. To conclude, her are some extra bits of fact that you might not of known about the author, Guadalupe Garcia McCall, and the simply stunning novel that she has thought of: The novel’s plot is based of McCall’s real-life experience during her teenage years and all of the difficult barriers and challenges that came with this time in her life Under the Mesquite won the Pura Belprė Award in 2012 for creating a novel that best portrays, affirms, Latino cultural experience.
