"So far, Min reminded herself, you have loved nobody and nobody has loved you. You weren't even given up for adoption, you were just thrown away." This is the story of Min, a girl who was abandoned as a child. She has been in the Foster Care program ever since, bouncing around to different families. Min has nothing. No real family, no birth certificate, few memories or anything else to give clues of where she actually came from. Through her life, Min has had to put up with bullies who make fun of her and her story, calling her things like "Litter-Bin-Min" and always making sure everyone knew that she was thrown away because nobody wanted her. It is now a week before Christmas, and Min is back at the Children's Aid center after another foster care placement that didn't work. Min tries to keep herself from loving anyone, because she knows that it is safer that way rather than be hurt when things don't work out. She never lets anyone get close to her or know what she's thinking. Doctor Jess Hart, who had met Min before, and can see the person Min is behind her hard shell, decides to take her home for the holidays. With Christmas cheer, a rescued dog, and fun days together that bond Min and Dr. Jess, we start to see the hard shell Min put up around herself melt as she lets herself start to hope that the miracle she wished for might be coming true. This book is a wonderful read. I loved every minute of it. You start to love Min and feel sorry for her and what she has gone through from the first couple pages. This is truly a a wonderful book.
I read dancing through the snow by jean little I didn't really like this book that much it didn't have me hooked onto it that well. It's about a little girl named min who was adopted she didn't have a birth certificate. One day they were looking for a tree and they found a lost injured dog. They took it to the vet and it became better and they got to keep it after it became better. One of Jess friends mins mother is friends with someone who's dog they found so they had in give it back. The birth certificate didnt have to do with the story like it said it would the book was not good who I would recommended this book to is middle schoolers.
