Well I am halfway to my "read a 100 books this year goal" and it is mid May when I finished this book so off to a very good start. This book seemed more like a young adult type book, the main character is a 12 year old girl who's family moves from the city to a ranch in the desert of New Mexico to help out their estranged grandpa. Grandpa, they determined, cannot live on his own anymore & is slipping. They are there to take care of grandpa and fix up the ranch to sell. Grandpa & Carolina--the 12 year old, form a kind of special relationship with him telling her a kind of ongoing story. Book ends sort of weird with her taking older sister's car & getting grandpa out of the retirement home & going back to the ranch. Overall though an okay read, like I said probably more suited for junior high types than my age group.
I have posted it on PBS & is only copy in system so could move at some point.
