It may be simply told, but it is not a simple story.<br /><br />I have a really fun year of books lined up for her. Next up is <i>The Outsiders</i> by S. E. Hinton :-)Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-20686856098768505482016-08-29T22:24:10.383-04:002016-08-29T22:24:10.383-04:00MovieCritic, yeah, this is kind of between middle ...MovieCritic, yeah, this is kind of between middle grade fiction and YA, so it's a fast read.

She seemed so real to me when I first read it and that is always the sign of a good book. <br /><br />I will be interested to see what else you read with your niece.
