My life with the Lincolns

I was disappointed by this one. Mina's somewhat precocious writing voice was cute at first but got old. She has quite the imagination–she has this whole story cooked up about how her family is the Lincoln family reincarnated. It grew annoying pretty quickly. I also thought her dad was a pretty despicable guy masquerading as a kindhearted activist. Most of the time his heart was in the right place despite his cringe-worthy comments about race but around Carla he made me totally uncomfortable. I can't see myself recommending this, especially to anyone in its intended audience.
