Weeks, Sarah. So B. It. New York: Scholastic Inc., 2004.
Heidi, a twelve-year-old girl, lives with her mentally disabled mother named So B. It, who survives life with the help of her next door neighbor. However, to make matters worse, the neighbor, Bernadette, is an agoraphobic. Living with these two different women, Heidi will grow up in a world different from many other children; however just like everyone she will soon start asking questions about her past and about her mother. Especially, when Heidi finds a role of film that doesn’t answer anything, but just adds to her curiosity. To learn about who she is she must travel by bus by herself to her mother’s previous home to find the answers. Several weak spots throughout, but the reader's love for Heidi makes it worth continuing on. The book is well written and will keep you wanting to know the secret of her life. Make sure you have a box of Kleenex handy, because Weeks will have you crying, but satisfied with the turn out of this book.
