Even with a cat on the cover, this book wasn't half bad. This is not a book I would have chosen, on my own, to read: it is one of this year's Mark Twain Award nominees for the state of Missouri. I had my doubts, with talk of the title character's mother being an illegal immigrant and her dad being pretty hands-off. I wasn't sure which way the story would take me. Would Gaby's mother sneak back over the border after being deported? Would her dad make her move away from home? A deep connection with the local animal shelter, and a deeper relationship with her best friend's family had the potential to make this one end in disappointment.
