5.0 out of 5 stars The book review of "Going Home" and it's prequel "Felita"
I really liked both books that I had to read. I really got into them quickly, because they were detailed very well and over all written very good.

Felita is the main character and she is a hispanic girl living in NYC. She is nine years old and she loves to hang out with her friends. Her family is moving and they move to an all white German and Irish section of town...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good early middle school tale
Felita is a tween caught between her own changing emotions, her desire to be free, like her brothers, and her very protective mother. It is the second book in a series, but stands alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book review of "Going Home" and it's prequel "Felita", April 28, 2003
This review is from: Going Home (Paperback)
I really liked both books that I had to read. I really got into them quickly, because they were detailed very well and over all written very good.

Felita is the main character and she is a hispanic girl living in NYC. She is nine years old and she loves to hang out with her friends. Her family is moving and they move to an all white German and Irish section of town. They get discriminated all the time and even her brother gets beaten up, so they decide to go back to their original neighborhood. It explains how she works through her problems with the help of her family. In the second book (Going Home), Felita is now 11 years old and her family is going to Puerto Rico. That is where they come from. She is allowed to stay there the whole summer with ther uncle and she discovers the pains and pleasures of being there.

I would recommend these books for anyone willing to learn about the life of someone of a different culture. They are great for all reading ages and you even learn a little spanish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Going out of town, March 4, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Going Home (Paperback)
The plot of this story is that Felita was going Puerto Rico to meet her famliy that she never meet. Also that she needed help to speak spanish.

I think this was a great book, because the book was like every day life. I like this book because the people in it were spanish just like me. So I gave it four stars.
