Ana Maria Reyes Does NOT Live in a Castle by Hilda Eunice Burgos


Ana Maria (Anamay to her family) has 3 sisters.  Her mom stays at home and her dad is a lawyer, but does it more to help people than work for a big firm making lots of money.  Anamay is the 2nd oldest and wants to go to a private school with her friend Claudia.  She plays the piano and gets invited to an exclusive recital.  Her aunt Tia Nona is getting married and wants the whole family to come to the Dominican Republic for her wedding.  She will pay for all travel and at first Anamay's dad says no, but then agrees after some persuading from Ana Maria.  Her parents also announce they are having another baby, ugh.  Ana Maria learns some very tough lessons in this book about family, sacrifice, and helping others.
