AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

 Cassi is part Puerto Rican, but people always comment that she does not look like the rest of her family. Life can be sad and cruel, but she has good support from her family. She takes comfort in math and the Math Olympiad. There she meets Aaron, who shares stories with Cassi about all the different Tree Towns that he and his author dad have lived in. 

I liked how Cassie worked through her problems and found ways to make her happy. She forms a cute friendship with Aaron and I think she even has a crush on him and that the feeling might be mutual. She can tell him things, and he understands. He tells her things about his life and she understands. I also liked that the two main characters both liked math. The book is full of interesting, colorful and strong characters. I recommend this book.
