Gianna wants to know more about her family, but she has to join an after school history club (yuck!) to do it. With Matthew Jacobs always trying to put in his two cents, she embarks on a journey that will change her life forever.

"This is a book about discovery and the power of a child who helps her mother with generational secrets. The dialogue is right from the mouth of a young girl and her classmates and her Mamá, who speaks mostly Spanish. The reader is left wondering...What more will Gianna find out? 
With a hint of more to come, young readers will surely look forward to sharing more of Gianna's journey into self-discovery." - Goodreads, Pam Bonsper

"This is a cute story that not only peaks the imagination but leaves the reader wanting to learn more about Gianna and where she comes from. It is written so that it is easily digested by young readers and they are not forced to be hunting around for what certain words mean." - Goodreads, Bonnie Rediske
About the author:
As a missionary’s kid Becky grew up all over the state of Texas learning that each person is special in the Lord’s eyes. As a twenty year veteran teacher she learned how to bring out those gifts in children. As a ten year genealogist she learned how wonderful finding out about the family background can be especially when the knowledge is shared with others.
