I looooove Sharon Creech. If you haven't read
Walk Two Moons yet, you HAVE to. It is so good. But since I've already read that, I just finished
The Boy on the Porch by the same author. This is the kind of country story I like (sorry, Hank the Cowdog). The story is from the point of view of a couple who lives on a farm and one day find a boy asleep on their porch. The story is very subtle and an excellent example of brevity. I didn't love this book as much as
Walk Two Moons, probably because there wasn't a romance element, but it was still very good. 2 for content, FIVE for brevity. Seven Poppies out of ten.
Loved Arnie the Doughnut. There are kid jokes and grownup jokes and a mystery, too! The one I read was
Arnie the Doughnut: Bowling Alley Bandit by Laurie Keller. Quick read, super fun - 3 for content, 3 for brevity. Six Poppies for Arnie!
This is a time when my love for the book really showed in the organizer:
