Eleven

by Patricia Reilly Giff

This book is about a boy named Sam that is turning 11 and has a lot of questions about where he came from after he finds a newspaper article with a picture of him as a little boy with a different last name. The number 11 pops up throughout the book and Sam struggles with reading so he finds an unlikely friend to help him solve the mystery of his past. This book kept me wanting to read to the very end to find out who Sam is!
