    Excellent Middle Grade Novel
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2014*

Iâ€™m a sucker for stray animals and have more than once scooped up a roaming dog and delivered him to a non-kill animal shelter. So, Angela Cervantes had me from Chapter 1, which places the protagonist Gaby up a tree trying to rescue a cat. From this point on, Cervantes presents Gabyâ€™s story with a great mix of heart-wrenching moments and humor. Some parts of the book are light and soooo middle schoolâ€“I know, I teach in oneâ€“while other parts deal with the more serious issue of deportation and the effects on children when a parent is gone.Since her mother has been deported to Honduras, Gaby must live with her father, who is ill-equipped to raise a sixth-grade girl. Gaby would much rather live with her best friend Alma and her family. Better yet would be if her mom were able to come back home, but this trip is expensive and dangerous.Cervantes parallels Gabyâ€™s situation with the sixth-grade class community project at the Furry Friends Animal Shelter. Both the animals and Gaby have less than ideal living arrangements are in need of new permanent homes. During the community service project, Gaby has the special job of writing descriptions of the animals on fliers that will be displayed around town and on the shelterâ€™s website.Eventually, Gaby writes a flier for herself. In part it reads:Gaby Ramirez Howard: â€¦Three months ago, my mom was deported, and now I live with my father, who looks at me like Iâ€™m just another job he wants to quit. Iâ€™m seeking a home where I can invite my best friend over and have a warm breakfast a couple times a week. Waffles and scrambled eggs are my favorite!GAH! My heart, Angela Cervantes!!In between the chapters that caused me to clutch my heart and give my daughter random hugs, I literally laughed out loud. Scenes with the four friendsâ€“Gaby, Alma, Enrique, and Marcosâ€“are hysterical. In one, Alma, who is trying to train a spirited shelter dog named Spike, tests the commands on the boys. â€œBack! Down! Sit and stay!â€ In another scene, three firefighters arrive at the shelter to adopt a dog for the firehouse. Alma says to the other girls, â€œLetâ€™s go see whatâ€™s smoking,â€ and then the girls nickname each of the cute firefighters: Hottie, Smokey, and Sizzler. Very funny.If you are a middle school teacher, librarian, or parent, you should have a copy of this book on your shelf.

    Gaby, Lost and Found: a terrific book, a terrific author
  

*by H***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2017*

Gaby, Lost and Found, is one terrific book! It is a page turner! It handles current political issues with kid gloves, such as how deportation affects families. Interwoven within this book are mini biographies about shelter pets, as Gaby, the main character, is a volunteer at a local animal shelter. We follow Gaby on a heartwarming journey of trial and tribulation as she tries to piece together a makeshift family, after her mother, the bedrock of her family is unexpectedly deported while at work one day. This is a must read.Recently, we hosted author Angela Cervantes, via Skype, at our elementary school. Our 4th grade students read her book, Gaby, Lost and Found, ahead of time to prepare for this virtual visit. Our experience was beyond expectation. Ms. Cervantes is throughly professional and extremely personable. Her love of the writing process and sharing that process with students was evident from start to finish. Ms. Cervantes started with a slide show about her life and work, and spoke about how personal experiences influence her writing. She made the presentation interactive by asking students to read passages aloud from her book and encouraged questions from the audience. Ms. Cervantes answered each student question thoughtfully and although our Skype session was supposed to last 30 minutes, she ensured every student with a question had a chance to ask it, bringing our session closer to 40 minutes. If you are looking for a way to incorporate a virtual author visit into your school's reading program, Angela Cervantes is a terrific choice.
