When Life Gives You Mangos

When Life Gives You Mangoes is a captivating and wonderfully enthralling read. It is perfectly written for the middle school age reader and comes with a most wonderful plot twist at the end. You really feel all that Clara is struggling with by losing her memory after a hurricane and her experiencing her best friend, Gaynah, acting a bit strange. You feel her frustration as bits and pieces start to come back to her…all with a backdrop of the beautiful Caribbean, the island is a beacon to those who want an exotic vacation. It is only at the end that everything becomes clear and you receive clarity into what happened during the hurricane. I decided to go back and read the book a second time armed with the knowledge of what the plot twist at the end was…and the book was just as enjoyable. This book was a lot of fun to read and I would very much recommend it to my friends.
