Becoming Naomi Leon
By Pam Munoz Ryan
Naomi and her brother Owen have been living quite happily with their Gram in the city of Lemon Tree. All that changes when Naomi’s mother comes back into the picture. After abandoning her children years ago, she suddenly wants Naomi to come live with her. In a fit of desperation, Gram decides that they must go look for the children’s father in Mexico, the father that neither Naomi or Owen remember at all. The journey takes them into Mexico, and Naomi begins to discover more about herself and her own dreams than she had thought possible: in fact, she realizes that she does have the heart of the lion she is named for. This is a beautiful book, and Naomi is a character you can really cheer for.
