Naomi Soledad León Outlaw has had a lot to contend with in her young life.But according to Gram's self-prophecies, most problems can be overcome with positive thinking. Life with Gram and her little brother, Owen, is happy and peaceful until their mother reappears after seven years of being gone, stirring up all sorts of questions and challenging Naomi to discover who she really is.
Pam Muñoz Ryan reads Becoming Naomi León.
"With its quirky characterizations and folksy atmosphere, this engrossing family drama resembles a Sharon Creech novel on the surface, but it has its own uniquely affecting emotional core." — The Horn Book, September 1, 2004
