She moved away from her best friend and she want a clse by friend that she can talk to. I think the theme of the story is friendship because Amelia learns a lesson that even though she has one friend she can have more than one and thats okay. A example is that it was Nadia's birthday and she called Amelia to tell her about her birthday party and how it was fun. If you wants friends you have to talk to people. She acts like she will never make a new friend and some pepole are shy I understand, but at the same time making friend is not easy. self because Amelia is making this hard on her self I know it is hard to be the new kid and move away from your best friend, but can always make new friends. The conflict type of my story is person vs. Nadia will always be her bestfriend, but she is so far away and she want a clse by friend. She really misses her best friend Nadia but she learns that she can make new friends and it's okay. Amelia moves to a new school and she has no friends. The setting of my story is school and I know this because Amelia talks about her teachers and students. Also, Amelia has a big imagination and to me thats what makes the story intersting. I think it was a good book I think it was a funny overall I enjoyed the book. Simple, bella, un regalo permenente: simple and beautiful, a gift that will stay.***Spoiler Alert*** Have you ever had to move to a new school and move from your best friend? The genre of my book is historical fiction.

Like all good stories, this one incorporates a lesson just subtle enough that readers will forget they're being taught, but in the end will understand themselves, and others, a little better, regardless of la lengua nativa-the mother tongue. This story seamlessly weaves two culturaswhile letting each remain intact, just as Miguel is learning to do with his own life. Eventually, Tía Lola and the children swap English and Spanish ejercicios, but the true lesson is 'mutual understanding.' Peppered with Spanish words and phrases, Alvarez makes the reader as much a part of the 'language' lessons as the characters. She can also cook exotic food, dance (anywhere, anytime), plan fun parties, and tell enchanting stories. Tía Lola, however, knows a language that defies words she quickly charms and befriends all the neighbors.

The last thing Miguel wants, as he's trying to fit into a predominantly white community, is a flamboyant aunt who doesn't speak a word of English. When Tía Lola arrives to help the family, Miguel and his hermana, Juanita, have just moved from New York City to Vermont with their recently divorced mother. Renowned Latin American writer Alvarez has created another story about cultural identity, but this time the primary character is 11-year-old Miguel Guzmán.
