Holt, Kimberly Willis
Blooming at the Texas Sunrise Motel, 325 pgs. Christy Ottaviano Books, 2017 (Henry Holt and
Co.) $16.99 Content: G.
Stevie has lived a simple life with her mom and dad on a small
farm. They sell their produce at a stand
on the side of the road. When Stevie’s
parents are killed by a car, Stevie moves to a small Texas town with her
grandfather that she didn’t know existed.
As Stevie tries to deal with the grief of losing her parents, she also
tries to connect with her family and uncover why her parents never told her
about them.
This is a sweet coming of
age story with quirky characters in a small town setting. Stevie is a very likable character and the
story unfolds at the perfect pace. Holt
does a great job drawing the reader in and makes the characters easy to relate to.
