Why read it?
1 author picked Gaby, Lost and Found as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was moved by this book about an eleven-year-old girl whose mother has been deported. Gaby is kind and genuine, and her friends are great too. She wants nothing more than to get her mother back and to save an abandoned cat from the shelter where she volunteers. I love how real her feelings and her actions are, and how she grows in the story. And, of course, reading about all the cute dogs and cats at the shelter made me feel warm and fuzzy!
From Hilda's list on The best middle grade books about sensitive topics.
