Guest Book Review: Scones and Sensibility by Lindsay Eland

Another book review by my daughter, Laura:

Scones and SensibilityScones and Sensibility by Lindsay Eland:

When I first started this book, I thought it was really weird. But when I went through it, I realized that it teaches us to live in the present, not a hundred years ago.

In this book there is a girl named Polly Madassa who tries to set her friends up with mates but it unsuccessfully does not go well and it gets to be that everyone is mad at her. In the end there is a wedding.

.....Oh, happy ever after, sigh!

Thank you again, Laura. I'm so glad you're reading lots of good books.

Please leave a comment for Laura. She has worked hard on these reviews!

Guest Book Review: Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper

Today I am honored to have a guest reviewer on this blog: my own daughter and avid reader, Laura. She received some books from her aunt in return for reviews. Here are her ideas on one of them:

Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper

Out of My MindThis book tells us a lot about people with disorders and problems. This book is about a girl named Melody who has a disorder and lives in a wheelchair. She has a little sister named Penny.

She enters a competition with some schoolmates and the kids do not think she is smart enough to do it because she is disabled.

This girl teaches us that people like her are not that different than everyone else.

Thanks, Laura! I know you had fun reading this one. (Personally, I like the cover of the book. That's what I feel like a lot of the time, like a fish out of water!)

Have any of you read Out of My Mind? If so, what did you think? Please leave a comment for Laura!
