review 1: Franny Parkerby Hannah Roberts McKinnonFranny is a future veterinarian in the making—her favorite pastime? Franny collects injured animals, especially the wild, non-domestic types, and nurses them all back to good health. When new neighbors arrive next door, Lucas and his mom Lindy, Franny realizes that not only animals need help to get well. This novel was easy and quick to read, but the conflict, what really makes me get into a book, came too late in the story. I don't think I suspected that there would even be a real problem to solve until at least chapter seven. It was also a little strange to me that Franny and Lucas sort of seemed to have a little romance blooming, and yet Franny seemed like she was only about ten years old. She was way too young to be involved wit... moreh a guy in my opinion. Lastly, the antagonist, the villain, was not very threatening or scary to me. The book might be short and easy to read, but it is not one of my favorite books—perhaps it would be better for younger kids? If you read it and like it, let me know why I may be wrong.
review 2: I really enjoyed this story. The book was just sitting on my counter. My younger siblings must have gotten it from school and I decided to give it a read. It was really short, I read it in about 2 hours. But the story is touching. Its a story about a young girl who goes through a difficult summer in Oklahoma. The summer is not only difficult because of the unrelenting drought that is forcing many farmers out of business. But also because of a mother and son who move in next door who need help, but refuse to except it. Its a great book for young kids. It has everything. Staying true to your friends, loving your family, even extending a helping hand to injured and orphaned animals. A nice weekend read. less
