A Must Read,
By Shop-a-holic (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear Lola: Or, How to build your own family : a tale
I read this book when I was 9. I'm now 19 and have always remembered the book with great fondness. Recently, I took the opportunity to re-read it. Though not as entertaining as it had been at age 9, I can see why I loved it so much as a child. I would recommend all children get a chance to read this wonderful tale.

:),
By Marisa (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear Lola: Or How To Build Your Own Family (Paperback)
--"Lola," an eighteen-year old boy living at an orphans' home who writes a popular national advice column rounds up five other children at the home whom he likes: thirteen-year-old James, ten-year-old Annie (the narrator) and her twin brother Al-Willie, nine-year-old Edmund, and five-year-old Ben, and they set off for a small town in which they form a family and move into a nice house, dodging the neighbours' nosy questions and having a great time, that is, at first: soon, people start to wonder why their "grandfather" whom they always assure is around somewhere, is never seen, and why the family looks so suspicious in general. --I loved the emotions and excellent detail in this book, and it was lively and quick, making it a great book to read. --Marisa

Wonderful book turned movie,
This review is from: Dear Lola: Or How To Build Your Own Family (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book! I really loved the pace of the story and how endearing the characters were. This book was turned into a television movie called "The Beniker Gang" starring Andrew McCarthy. FANTASTIC film. It was very true to the book and wonderfully acted! I recommend both the book and the movie!!
