Customer Reviews

THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must admit - after I bought it, I blamed myself for wasting money, and I put the book aside for about...oh, let's say 2 years. I found it somewhere, somehow, and I didn't have anything to do, so I sorta started the book. From that day, I was known as "The Book Girl" in my class. My nose was always in the book, even in class, lunch, and recess! After I finished the book, I read it over and over and over and over.... I'm still reading it right now......Trust me, it never gets old.

Unexpectedly Good!

When I first started this book, I found it boring and I wanted to stop reading it but something told me not to and I was curious about the ending. The main character Bobby Lee grows on you and so do her friends and little town. It is magical if you really let yourself in. I read it in 2 days :-)

Very Well Done

Bobby Lee Pomeroy is a sympathetic, believable character who comes alive under the sure touch of Sherry Bunin. The book is rich with descriptive, appropriate figures of speech, even to two (anachronistic) uses of "pissed off." This is the perfect book for readers who themselves aspire to become writers. Highly recommended.
