From School Library Journal:

Grade 3–5—Ten-year-old Nina grudgingly goes with her parents on a long road trip to visit her grandmother, who has become senile and might need to be moved to a facility. A year has passed since Nina last saw Amelia and she doesn't know what to expect. Upon their arrival, the woman recognizes everyone, and Nina begins to feel that nothing is wrong with her. As the days go by, Amelia captures her granddaughter's attention by telling her stories involving flowers, pirates, and mountains that were told to her as a young child. At first, Nina is skeptical and questions the veracity of the stories. But, Amelia is firm in her storytelling and soon Nina's imagination awakens. She looks forward to the stories and gets closer to her grandmother. The child speaks with her father, Amelia's son, and convinces him that there's nothing wrong with his mother. Alcolea skillfully presents a modern-day situation in which distance and lack of communication weaken family bonds. The author also allows readers to see that with effort and communication those bonds can resurface. The soft, warm illustrations capture the relationship between grandchild and grandparent. An excellent addition.—Ana Rodriguez, Tamarac Elementary School, FL
