What I Think about Circle of Giving,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Circle of Giving (Circle of Giving CL Nrf) (Library Binding)
It is an expressive story and very realistic, too. It was touching and made you realize that not all people may be able to do everything others can do, but everyone has true feelings. Marguerite and Francie were special to each other and shared an extremely special and genuine bond of friendship that is rare in most friendships. The characters seemed almost real, and it was easy to imagine what life was like for Jeannie-- having an admirable older sister determined to help a kindly disabled girl fit in, a group of typical neighborhood children who seemed thoughtless at first but in the end realized that just because someone was different didn't necessarily mean they were unfriendly, strict but kind typical 1920's parents, an extraordinarily talented, charitable woman (Mrs. Hanisian)two withdrawn but changeable teenage girls (Marie and Zadora) and finally, the sensitive but lovable main character, Jeannie Sloan. A Circle of Giving is a wonderfully penetrating focus on friendship and caring and I think everyone should read it. If you're like me, it will touch and change your heart forever and give you a gift--the gift of caring and honesty.
