Heidi is a twelve-year-old girl who is being raised by Bernadette, who is like her guardian. Twelve years ago, Heidi's mom
knocked on a stranger's door and said that she had a "bum brain," had nowhere to live, and was holding a baby.
Bernadette takes care of Heidi and her mom, who claims that her name is "So B. It." Heidi now wants to learn more about
her mom, so she takes a road trip, by herself, to find out more about her mother's mysterious past. She doesn't really
know where she is going, so she just goes wherever the path takes her. But even as little as Heidi knows about her
mother, she loves her.
This book reminded me a lot of WALK TWO MOONS, because the storyline is similar. That a good thing in my opinion,
because I love that book! At the beginning of SO B. IT, you are kind of like "okay, get on with it," but then the story gets
interesting. This is a simple yet complicated book, which makes it very interesting.
