I am really excited to get into this book. It seems like it would be kind of a heart felt but mysterious story. You can telll alot about a book from looking at the description. Im not sure what the book will bring but i cant wait to fine out.

Whats happening in the book now is that Anita and her cousin Carla was in class the principle had called Carla out of the room. Anita had got very nervous. When Carla had came back in the room the teacher had told Anita to help Carla pack everything that she owned.

       Personally I can relate to Anita's situation. I was born in Chicago, but my family had all moved to Indiana. My closest family had started moving back to Chicago. One by one. Not all of them are gone, but some of my closest cousins had left. I know how she feel, sad ,upset ,and angry.
