The Book of Fred : A Novel
4 journalers for this copy...
Quirky read about a girl taken out of a religious cult and put into a foster home. This is a nice story of how she affects and unknowingly helps her new family to change. This is saved for Leester next.
Passing on to Leester today.
Thanks, Pooh! Will get around to this one day, hopefully soon.
(Mmmmmm... thanks for the yummy cheesecake!)

Just the kind of book I like, a book that tells the story of some otherwise "average" people living through an unusual circumstance.
I especially enjoyed the relationship between Heather and M.F. and how Heather changed and matured as a result of this girl who was a "dork". I was starting to worry that the second half of the book got a little too "Movie of the Week" for me, but it didn't interfere too much with my enjoyment! In fact I could not put it down once I reached the half-way mark.
Thanks Pooh for passing this along. I will pass it on to cestmoi when I see her tonight.

Picked up last night. Thanks!!! I already know who I am sending this to next..so I'll do my best to read it this weekend.
Finally got around to digging this out of boxes of books and read it over this weekend. I really liked it. I also liked how M.F. influenced her new "family" just by being herself. I liked the realism of Heather and her teenage angst and also how M.F. related to her real mother.
On its way to JMG49. Enjoy.
Thanks cestmoi. I'll get to it soon.
