"My name is Gaby, and I'm looking for a home. Having the nicest clothes or cell phone isn't important, but I'd like to have a cat that I can talk to when I'm home alone."
When Gaby Ramirez Howard starts volunteering at the local animal shelter, she takes special pride in writing adoption advertisements. Her flyers help the cats and dogs there find their forever homes: places where they'll be loved and cared for, no matter what.
Gaby is in need of a forever home herself. Her mother has recently been deported to Honduras and Gaby doesn't know where to turn. Meanwhile, Gaby's favorite shelter cat, Feather, needs a new place to live. Gaby would love to adopt her-- but if Gaby doesn't have a place that feels like home to her, how can she help Feather?
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 5-8–When Gaby Ramirez Howard's mother is deported back to Honduras, the sixth-grader's life is anything but stable. Her father often forgets to purchase food, but worse, neglects his daughter emotionally. She is an outcast at St. Ann's where classmates tease her about her family life. With everything falling apart, the protagonist finds strength and self-confidence in the class service project at their local animal shelter. She showcases her writing skills, creating individual profiles for each animal. Although her life parallels many of the abandoned pets, Gaby takes on the role of protector and defender. Her profiles and hard work help many animals find a new home and a true family, something that Gaby is lacking. The plot and tone are spiced with Spanish words along with tidbits of Honduran culture. The author humanizes the controversial issue of illegal immigration and paints an emotionally compelling story. The short chapters and simple plot will keep readers engaged. Kids will be initially attracted by the animal-shelter theme but ultimately maintain interest due to Gaby's absorbing story. The novel provides a glimpse into the lives of young people growing up in modern society, and is a welcome addition to middle-school collections.–Mary-Brook J.

From Booklist
Gaby’s mom, an undocumented immigrant from Honduras, was swiftly deported after her factory was raided. Now Gaby clings to the notion that her mother is on the way home to her again. Meanwhile, she tries to navigate life with her newly custodial dad, who had left the family years before, and face down a couple of classmates who taunt her over the deportation. On a happier note, Gaby enjoys the support of many others from the school community, and she derives immense satisfaction from her class-service project with the local animal shelter. She identifies with the pets’ abandonment issues and writes them up in individual profiles guaranteed to melt hearts and pull readers in. Cervantes tackles immigration issues bluntly in this affecting novel. Youngsters will feel Gaby’s despair as she ponders her mother’s options and the possibility of their future together. No sugarcoated or quick-fix endings exist in this politically sensitive coming-of-age story, a thought-provoking look at the human face of immigration policy. Grades 4-7. --Anne OMalley --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
