So B. It
by Sarah Weeks

This book by Sarah Weeks is very interesting. This book is about Heidi who lives a very different life style than most kids. She has a mentally disabled mother and a neighbor that is scared to go outside. Heidi lives in an apartment building and plays on slot machines to get money, even though she is only 12. Heidi’s mother can only say 23 words and her favorite is "soof". Heide doesn't even know what that word means. Heidi meets all kinds of new people and does all kinds of new things in this book. Finally, when the weird word from her mother’s vocabulary makes her wonder about her mother's past, she leaves on a cross country journey to try to find the secrets of her past .I thought this book was very good. Now, it is up to you to figure it out what happens next. How does everything work out? I want you to read this book and find out!
