this is a good book if you would like a book about a cuban girl turning 15. It took me a while to read because i didn't ever get into it.

Cuba 15 is an okay book. It is about a girl from Cuba that moves to America. She is turning fifeteen and wants to have a normal birthday, like normal americans, but her parents want her to do what they did when they where her age, have a Cuban party. Read on to find out which one happens. it took me two days to read this.

A pretty funny book. Cuba 15 is about a girl who's quincinera is coming up and doesn't really wany to go out in a pink dress and do the waltz with her father.

It's a good book, but not very exciting, though.

I found this book extremely boring and hard to get into. Took me about a week and a half.
