Publisher Description

"I always thought that the biggest trial in my life was my name, Naomi Guadalupe Zamora Outlaw, but little did I know that it was the least of my problems, or that someday I would live up to it." One evening, everything Naomi has known with Gram and her little brother begins to unravel. Naomi's mother wants to kidnap her. Gram is willing to go to the end of the earth to save Naomi, but will that be enough? A quiet life in Lemon Tree, California, becomes a runaway journey to find an estranged father in exotic Oaxaca, Mexico.

"I LOVE Pam Munoz Ryan. I think I am officially to the point of calling her my favorite kid's author. Every book I've read by her have been beautiful, unique stories that are absolutely heartbreaking. And every time I read a new one I think this is my new favorite book by her! I couldn't put this book down and love Naomi Leon just as much, if not more, as I have loved all the other characters Pam Munoz Ryan has introduced me to."

    " I've read this book several times, but I'm reading it again, along with three other teachers, in a readers theater style for our book club at school. The kids are enjoying it. There are interesting characters, humorous moments, but overall it deals with very serious themes of love, loss, and resiliency. "

    " Despite this being written for fourth graders, I still wept a number of times. It is a very sweet story filled with the harsh realities which abound in our society of divorce. The writer did a great job of giving complexity and sticking to the story. I particularly enjoyed the whole Mexico trip where we all get a little taste of Oaxaca. "

    " Becoming Naomi Leon is a great book for pre-adolescent girls to read. Naomi learns to handle everyday troubles taht many girls live through. They will connect with Naomi, especially if they are in a one-parent family, or being raised by a grandparent. Though predictable, I love the ending. "
