A Month of Sundays by Ruth White - OPTIONAL


White, Ruth A Month of Sundays, 168 pgs. Margaret Ferguson Books, 2011. Language - G, Sexual Content - G; Violence - G; Garnet is moving to Florida. Well, technically, she's staying with family members she's never met while her mom goes to find a house and job in Florida before sending for Garnet. So while Garnet's mom is gone, Garnet has the time of her life with new family and friends. Now Garnet has a big problem: she doesn't want to leave. 

While a short book, White was able to squeeze a lot of great stuff into this book. There are conflicts and triumphs and discoveries and growing horizons. I liked getting to meet Garnet's family and enjoying new experiences with her, but this book didn't pull me in.
