Best Book of the Springsong Series

Fantastic, terrific, wonderful, phenomenal . . . etc., etc., etc.! DO NOT READ THE END before you read the rest--it'll wreck everything for you. This is one of the only SpringSong Books I've ever given FIVE stars, but even that isn't enough. Steven and Leslie are so real, and so well developed, and I really enjoyed the plot. You've never read a book like this before, and you never will again--it's completely unique. For me, characters make or break a story, and in turn dialogue makes or breaks the characters. This book is a great example of how to write dialogue! Jeanne Anders is simply a great author. I only wish she wrote more SpringSong Books--I'd buy them all!

THIS IS A GREAT, FANTASTIC, FABULOUS BOOK!

The above summary is true! . . . Very true! My friend has this book and whenever I barrow some from her I barrow this one. I like it that much.

It was the best book I've ever read!!!!!!!!!

Leslie was a great book. It got me started on the rest of the Springsong books. Leslie was a brave hardworking girl and I admire her courage. She finds love in an unlikely place. I think everyone should read it!

Captivating, clean, and all-around incredible!

Oh yeah, this is probably the BEST book in the SpringSong series!! Don't miss it! Leslie and Steven . . . the "unlikely couple" plot is familiar of course, but that's the ONLY "familiar" feature of this entire book. The whole thing twists and turns and spins and spirals in ways you're never quite expecting (even when you think you are). A fresh plot, a fresh group of characters (no stereo-types to be found), a fresh moral lesson, and just an awesome plot! You've never read a book quite like it, and you'll love it--I read it in two days!

I loved this book!!

Leslie takes the baby to a doctor, whom she finds very rude , will the twists and turns in this book change their views towards eachother and make their secrets known?? I loved this book!! Please check it out for yourself! :)
