Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Grace

Ana's Story is a touching story about a girl who had a tough life from the start: she was born with HIV into an unstable family. Even though she encountered many difficulties, she remained hopeful and enjoyed all the little moments she had.

Ana's story really struck me because I was never really aware of the impact of the AIDS epidemic in Latin America. It really made me realize how lucky I am here in America. Everyone should read this book in order to learn more about the difficulties that children who grow up with HIV go through. The only thing I didn't like about the story is that I thought it was aimed at teenagers, when the language and writing style is really more suited for children.
