"Believe me, Heidi, there are some things in life a person just can't know." (Pg. 211) Most people know about their family right? For example almost all of us know who our grandparents are/were, who our parents are/were, but what if you knew nothing? What if you didn't even know almost anything about your own mother? Heidi, a 12 year old girl, lives with her mentally ill mother and neighboor who has Agoraphobia. There are two things she is dying to find out; where her mother came from and what the word "soof" is. Heidi is so determined to have all her questions answered that she does something that probably none of us would do at this age. In my opinion this book is very exciting and always keeps you wondering. I would recommended this novel to boys and girls ages 12 and up since that is Heidi's age. "The novel has enough suspense to draw in mystery fans, while Weeks portrays Heidi's emotional and physical odyssey while admirable economy and restraint."- The Horn Book (Starred Review). Sarah Weeks has also written Regular Guy, Guy Time, My Guy, Guy Wire, I'm a Pig, and Follow the Moon.

Very good job Brigitte, I read this book a long time ago and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed your book review because you make it sound really intresting to read.
