Walking With Miss Millie by Tamara Bundy - ADVISABLE

Bundy, Tamara Walking With Miss Millie, 227 pages.  Nancy Paulsen (Penguin), 2017.  $17.  

Content: G.

Alice’s mom has dragged Alice and her little sister to Mom’s hometown to take care of her aging mother.  Alice is sure that her dad will reappearing any day to whisk them back to life in the big city.  After Alice does something wrong, she makes it up to her neighbor, Miss Millie, by offering to walk her dog, but because Clarence is stubborn, Alice ends up walking Miss Millie too.  Those walks allow Alice to learn a lot about herself and her place in the world.

This is a must read for fans of utterly sweet books that tug on your heart.  Bundy could join Suzanne LaFleur, Dandi Mackall, and Natasha Friend as my go-to authors for these types of books.
