Very good for me personally but i proofread it ffor my special class. Not appropriate reading for them. Id say young adults

I really enjoyed this book. This book deals with the killings of the Indians in Guatamala in the 1980's. The Civil War taking place there is killing the Indians there, men, women, children- innocent people that have done nothing to be treated as such. The army trained by the USA is committing these atrocities and blame the rebels of doing this. This is a very enlightening book, I don't know where I was at this time because I was not aware of this going on. I recommend this book.

This book is as much or more for adults than it is for adolescents. Tree Girl is a powerful story of the resilience and courage. Gabriela is a role model of strength. What more can Gabi endure. What she must witness is beyond words. It is a graphic realistic retelling of a true story. Honor Gabi, read and remember. Make a difference. Learn to play, have fun and enjoy life. Life is fragile and short. Learn, teach, listen.

Wow this book is a beautiful story there was time's I cried and time's I laughed and time's where I could say anything because of how they had so much and didn't know or think they did not they just had to dig deep and they would find it is truly amazing ;)

Amazing story. Made me cry a few times.

So, I was reading all of these reviews saying that this book was boring. This was the best book I've ever read with parts that I cried during. It was the most meaningful book I've read in my entire life. GREAT JOB BEN MIKAELSON!

Extraordinary book from a young woman's point of view of war impacting innocent people! Not for grade school. More for teenage and adults. A must read for compassion and realism.

This is a terrible book that everyone should read! It is very well written and covers topics that are not easy to read about. Ben Mikaelsen is a top notch author. Read all of his books!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone travelling through Central America, wanting to read a more personal account of Guatemala's history. I found this to be a very gripping read which left my eyes watering on many occasions, but as mentioned in previous reviews, I would say that some parts are far too graphic for it to be classed as a teen novel.

El libro relata la vida de una joven que vivió el extermino genocida perpetrado en contra de los mayas en Guatemala durante los primeros años de los ochenta. Basado en una historia real. Recomiendo mucho pero algunos puede no considerarlo apto para adolescentes porque detalla los abusos de los grupos militares de la época.

An Excellent read! Very informative!
