NOSE IN A BOOK club

This is the first novel I’ve read by Pam Munoz Ryan.   The topics of this book run pretty “deep” for a junior novel, but she handled them delicately without ever skirting the severity of the issues. 

I loved the lessons that the children learned in this book.  Love isn’t bought with things.  Love comes from people who care for you and their simple acts of kindness, compassion, and understanding.  Also, never give up!  Love will triumph.

I definitely recommend this book!  I’ve heard her others are good too, so go out and get one today.
