mlangman 's review for:
Becoming Naomi León
by Pam Muñoz Ryan
Another middle school required read finished, and another one I thoroughly enjoyed. I read this in one sitting and can imagine it is well-liked by 6th graders. It is fast-paced, as the action begins within the first few chapters, and the characters are multi-dimensional and clearly defined as either friend or foe. While Naomi, her brother and her grandmother aren't well-off and face many struggled, they aren't established as victims either, which made me like it even more. As Naomi discovers herself and her culture and fights for her found family, I cheered for her. A very enjoyable read filled with positive messages for young people.
