Soon the Texas Merci Boxcar is making its stop in her town. And on Valentine's Day, the day her parents got married. It's the perfect time for a miracle to happen. But the rest of her family is moving on. They've come to the conclusion that her dad is never coming back. And her mom may be falling in love again.   This book was very fast-paced with not many slow parts which I liked. It was a quick read. Although short, the story was good. If you're in elementary school I would definitely recommend this book for you. think it be best for someone between the ages of 9-12 years old. Of course, though, this book is a great read for all readers.   The only con I had with this book was that it was too easy and quick of a read.
