review 1: I really enjoyed this story between Maya and Axell. And I loved the story written inside as well that was about their grandparents. Naturally, Axell is used to his life being normal and all corners squared, however, his daughter is not speaking. Once he enrolls her in Maya's afterschool program, she seems to come out of that a little and lights up. Maya is all colorful, bright, never for a moment still and can't get anything together. The only thing she wants in life is to make everyone feel loved. The one thing she has never felt. The school she has her hopes and dreams in is in jeopardy and Axell doesn't want to see that happen after his daughter has come around. Between several road blocks, comical and dangerous disasters, these two take way too long to tell eac... moreh other how they really feel about each other. But that is really true with life. We all protect ourselves too much and put up those shields so we don't get hurt, even if we hurt more by doing so.

Maya's school is out in the country in a big old school between two freeways. She has a three year lease on the school. The Mayor wants to buy the land for a mall parking lot and built a road to connect the freeway. Maya is not giving up her lease.

She is making a difference in Matey and Constance.I enjoyed the characters. How they all are working together or against each other. I want to see more about Cleo and Maya's business partner.Too see what they do next. Axell at first was someone I did not like so much but he started to open up and his actions for Mayaand the children were wonderful.
