review 1: I read this book for the NCSLMA BOB 2014-2015 competition. This book is similar to The Witch of Blackbird Pond. A girl that doesn't quite fit in with her family finds an unlikely friend in an outcast woman. While the book was easy and quick to read, it isn't one that I would be able to recommend to many. I plan to "sell" it as a companion to The Witch of Blackbird Pond for teachers to use as part of the Common Core where they must compare and contrast 2 texts.
review 2: My 11 year old daughter read this book and told me that it was wonderful and that I had to read it. She was right. It is a sad, sweet story set in 1963 - the year that I was born - about a 10 year old girl whose baby sister was born prematurely and died the next day. The story deals with ... moreher mother's depression and how an elderly neighbor woman helps Annie to deal with that and her own feelings of sorrow. The story is well written and beautiful, funny and sad, and hopeful. I highly recommend it. less
