A coming of age story in a crazy world. <br /><br />I also read pictures of the past which was about a piece of art that is less the story as is the people who once owned it and how it got to a museum. Also had holocaust ties. The writing wasn't great but I enjoyed to book a lot. <br /><br />And then she was gone - don't read it if you worry about your kids getting kidnapped. A ripped from the headlines book (Jaycee dugard?) but more about the girl who was found and how the family has to adapt to a whole new reality 7 years after she was stolen.

I wonder if the problems may be too advanced for a 10 year old girl? If not, I am going to pick these up for my daughters summer reading challenge list.Theresa Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709965543595065306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-88540820405764981982014-05-07T06:52:25.443-07:002014-05-07T06:52:25.443-07:00Your comment about The Red Blazer Girls sounds a l...Your comment about The Red Blazer Girls sounds a lot like E's. She said they weren't quite what she expected but she enjoyed them anyway.<br /><br />I tried to read The Golden Notebook but couldn't slog my way through it so I gave up. Instead I read The Prisoner of Heaven and reminded myself that Carlos Ruiz Zafon is one of the best storytellers around.Barb Ruesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13028828439314972006noreply@blogger.com
