protoman21's review against another edition
5.0
Excellent story! Heidi is such a great character who has an interesting point of view and a strong spirit. Her life has been filled with interesting situations, but she doesn't think of herself as special since she doesn't know any differently. Her voice is a pleasure to hear and her story is bursting with love and hope and adventure. A wonderful book!

Type of read: Commuter (listened to and from work)
What made me pick it up: So B. It showed up as a recommended read in my library list.
Overall rating: So B. It is charmingly tragic yet uplifting. Told from the perspective of young Heidi, the book takes you on a journey for answers. You can feel the yearning for her to better understand who she is and where she comes from. I enjoyed this book a great deal and would recommend it to both youth and adult readers.
Readers note: I enjoyed So B. It as an audiobook at 1.5 speed and fully believe the narrator (Cherry Jones) helped make this book as enjoyable as possible. Each character had their own identity and you could feel the story through her words.

Easy to read, different and I am looking forward to discussing this one with my book group. This is one of those books that is written with older children/younger young adults in mind, but I think it appeals just as much, if not more, to many adults.

A sweet story, but I believe I enjoyed it more as a kid than as an adult.

I liked this book. It was about a girl, Heidi. She knows very little about her life and who her father is. Her neighbor takes care of her and her disabled mother. Heidi wants to know more about her mom and her past and the word that her mom continues to say. So she goes to figure it out.
