Almost There and Almost Not by Linda Urban

4.0

This was a sweet book and I really liked it. California stole my heart. Maybe it's because I have an 11 year old right now, or maybe it's just because California is who she is. She is doing the best she can despite the helpful (and not so helpful) adults in her life. She gets help along the way from an aunt who needed her as much as she was needed, some ghosts who don't know they are ghosts and a new friendship. I think my girls (11 and 13) would like to read this.
