The writing style is more for younger readers (teen) but I don't know that I would recommend this because the plot does not keep moving, and it's kind of all over the place. I liked Nayeli's character; (I wish she had been drawn with more depth), but I was perplexed at the end (Spoiler) when she sees her father. Wasn't the lead-up of the whole book that she was going to reunite with him, or at least find him and see what's up? She sees him for a second and that's it? I did not enjoy this book. Urrea writes some good dialogue but his exposition was just annoying and I couldn't take it anymore. Maybe he could write a play. Maybe he has I dunno...I have lost interest.
