Faith, Hope and Ivy June by Phyllis Naylor


Naylor, Phyllis Reynolds Faith, Hope and Ivy June, 280 p. Delacorte (Random), 2009. $16.99. Content: G. Ivy June, 12, has been chosen to leave her poor, rural mountain home and spend two weeks at the home of a city girl, Catherine and then Catherine will come to Ivy June’s in return. After two weeks of TV, internet and sleeping in a bed by herself, Ivy June is suddenly not sure that Catherine will be able to adjust to life on the mountain. But both girls will find out that when there is trouble, how much you have or don’t have doesn’t matter when you care about each other. I actually got tears in my eyes during one part of this beautiful book. Naylor has put together something so special, that I have faith that it will become a classic. EL, MS – ESSENTIAL.
