So B. It

So B. It by Sarah Weeks is the story of Heidi - a girl trying to figure out who she is.

Heidi and Mama live in an apartment. The apartment has a connecting door to the neighbor's apartment and the neighbor, Bernadette, takes care of them. She has ever since Heidi and Mama fell from the sky. Or at least that is as good an explanation as any other.

Mama, who told Bernie her name was So Be It, showed up one day with a week old baby in her arms. Bernie, who is agoraphobic, found her on the doorstep. Ever since that day they have been a family.

Now that Heidi is twelve, she has found an old camera in the bottom drawer. The film has given her clues to her mother's past. But how can a 12 year old girl travel from Reno to Liberty, NY by herself? And if she gets to NY, will she find the answers she thinks she needs?
