Border Crossing- Review

Border Crossing by Maria Colleen Cruz.

Review for Facebook, because Amazon is too daunting right now O.o:

It's nice to find a book out there dealing with the experiences of multiracial children, but this book was only decently written. Sometimes, it felt more like a lecture than an illustrated lesson, and the coincidences were a little too far-fetched to be believable. Plus, there was a pretty noticeable typo regarding which country San Diego was in- at one point the narrator gets off the bus in San Diego and is suddenly in Mexico. Overall, though, the novel covers themes not expressed at all or at all effectively elsewhere and fills a gap with mediocre skill.

4/5

I think your job and your school will be fun:) You can do it! 52 books, is that like 500 recipes in one year? I think you need to give yourself a timeline:) I would prefer the cooking thing - then I would not have to cook ....but I would get chubby. m
