The Wanderer by Sharon Creech is a book of overcoming fears, confronting memories, and facing your problems. It is a wonderful book for a smile and a personal view of a hectic journey across the sea. The way of writing is unlike any good books I’ve read before. However, Sharon Creech is so talented she can make the multiple points of view work, and work well in this Newberry Honor Book.Our main character, Sophie, is a girl of opposites. She loves the ocean and always wants to be on a boat, but at the same time is deathly afraid of it. An orphan, Sophie has been adopted by a husband and wife living in the U.S.A. When her new cousins and uncles decide to take a trip across the sea, sailing from the U.S.A. to England in order to visit Bompie, (their grandfather) she hops on board. This is a tale of their voyage across the fearsome blue.
I suggest you read this book. The Wanderer is an amazing story. Rosalie, oh Rosalie!

I think this is your best blog post yet! You describe the characters & the writing very well.
Sharon Creech books ALWAYS make me cry! Is this one going to also or not??
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!
Let's talk about connecting your blog or your book reviews to the Alcott library web page which I'm in the middle of designing.
Good golly, I am so impressed by how well you've used your "down time" this summer. And I'm a little jealous too. I went nuts on home improvement projects so I didn't read as much as I normally do. Plus I'm a lot poorer but I have just finished the latest Artemis Fowl book and loved it.
Keep up writing these AMAZING book reviews--just reading the ones you've written has made me want to read these books all weekend long!

Thanks! New post coming soon... I'm on overload with books I got from the library at the moment!
And yeah, crying is a possibility.
