Bunheads by Sophie Flack




I read this book in one day and it was a very blissful day. Just plain fun with interesting insight on the dance world. I could have been a ballerina-in another life.

Worst of Friends by Day, Larry

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I learned more about these two important historical figures than I knew previously. I just listened to "Jefferson's Sons" which has a much different view and sound than this book. This book is simple with information about the friendship of the two leaders. The illustrations are great. I think this would be a good book to read along with "Jefferson's Sons" to compare the mood and characters.

The Wonder of Charlie Anne

The Wonder of Charlie Anne by Kimberly Newton Fusco

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really liked Charlie Anne. Her mother died a year before and the only peace she feels is when she is talking to her mother at her grave site. Now, her father and oldest brother are going north to build roads during the Depression. Their demanding cousin Mirabel has come to take care of her and her two sisters and younger brother while their father is away. But slowly Charlie Anne finds peace when Mr. Jolly across the road takes a new wife along with her daughter. Together they cross racial line to mend the hearts of some people.
