Becoming Naomi León by Pam Muñoz Ryan

4.0

CW: parent dealing with alcoholism, parental abuse ableism

I went into this book not knowing much, but I was utterly charmed by the nostalgia of how this was written. I don't know how else to describe it, but the plot and characters are written very much in the style of a 2000s kid's book, and that nostalgia worked really well!

This is the story about how Naomi, her brother, and her great-grandmother's lives being turned upside down when their birth mother comes back for the first time in years, suddenly interested in the kid's lives again.
