Lady Q: The Rise and Fall of a Latin Queen by Reymundo Sanchez and Sonia Rodriguez.

This book is Non-Fiction because it is about the real life of Sonia Rodriguez and her making and unmaking as a Latin Queen.

This book is about a woman named Sonia Rodriguez and her whole life as a little girl to a woman. When Sonia was a little girl her parents would beat her up and never loved her. They would pay more attention to Sonia's sister and if they got mad they would take out all their anger on her.As she grew up her parents still treated her bad and soon when she became eleven her uncle and cousin started to molest her and abuse her.As she tries her best to win her moms love and respect but every time gets rejected and beat up she gives up and starts to become a rebel.After this she joins the Almighty Latin King Nation and becomes involved in the drugs and sex life.

My favorite part was on page 107. I love this part because Sonia beats up a girl that is jumping her sister. I really enjoyed this part because it proves how family can stick up for each other even thought they never actually payed attention to you.

I would recomend this book to people that are involved ingangs and that are in 7th grade an dup because it has mature language and sexual contents. This book is for mostly girls because it was written for young girls in gangs and that want to get in them to help them understand that doing drugs or gangs is very bad for your life. This book would be awesome if you have ever read the books by Reymundo Sanchez such as Once a King Always a King and My bloody Life.

This book is so awesome an dit is one of my favorite books because it helped me understand the real life situations about other people and helped me understand this world a little better.
