These chapters are much more eventfull that the last two. I really like this book. In these chapters Gram and Flora found out about Naomi's calls when someone she called called back and said she was Santiago's aunt. This was really exciting news! When Naomi went to Santiago's aunts house she learned that she looked exactly alike her dad. The aunt said that Santiago usually came for his favorite celebration Las Posadas, and then stayed for the Radish carving festival. She told Gram that she would call when he arrived. Naomi waited and waited but no call came and she went to Las Posadas without her dad. Naomi was upset but she knew that her dad would still come for the carving festival. One night Naomi started decorating a branch with her carvings and when Bernardo and his friends saw it they knew exactly what they were going to carve in the festival. Naomi helped them carve and I stopped reading on the morning of the festival. I really hope her dad comes. It would be the perfect almost ending.
P.S. the picture is an example of the radishes they carve in the festival.
