I'm writing this after having spent a week traveling to elementary schools to promote this, my newest novel. I had to answer a lot of questions about how the book was written, how it came to be, so on - and I thought this as good a time as any to get some thoughts down.
I've had projects that required more outlining, and certainly ones that required more research, but nonetheless, this book was probably the biggest challenge I've ever undertaken as a writer. It's essentially a story about a girl...more

Latasha manages to tug at my heart-strings once again. Her dad has not really been in her life, but she is curious about him and thinks she wants to get to know him better. She learns a few life lessons the hard way. I appreciate that Scotto doesn't try to give Disney type solutions throughout the book. There are ups and there are downs. It is truly realistic fiction.
Oh, the pressure of being the first to rate a book!
I definitely enjoyed this story of a girl learning about family, friendship, and trust. I'll write up a bigger review later - but I definitely plan to pick this book up for my classroom library.

Excellent sequel, in that 'why did you have to go and make me cry' kind of way.
Latasha is a spunky nine-year old girl who lives with her single mom and her dog Ella. With her best friend Ricky having, what she considers, the perfect family, Latasha begins to wonder about her own dad and why he isn't around. This story will hit home for many children in single-family households. Latasha's strength, fortitude and optimism, along with the support of family and friends, brings her through the tough times. This middle grade novel is worth the read, one which children will enjoy...more
