Mary Ann Is Growing Up,
By
This review is from: Life and Mary Ann a (Paperback)
In this, the fifth installment of the Mary Ann novels, Mary Ann is seventeen years old and still living on Mr. Lord's farm. Her family life seems to be going rather well tho her da is still threatening to hit the bottle again over every little thing that goes wrong. However, Mary Ann is always able to stop him. At seventeen, Mary Ann is still quite enamored with her childhood sweetheart, Corny. Corny announces he is going to America tho and will come back for Mary Ann in a year. Mary Ann has her doubts..
Meanwhile, during Corny's one year absense, Mary Ann is meddling in everyone's affairs and trying to fix everyone's problems again. A friend is pregnant, an acquaintance is getting smacked around by her husband, Mr. Lord's grandson is about to drop a bomb by announcing his plans to wed a woman that Mr. Lord will not approve of, and somebody gets a serious case of polio with drastic results. Amid all this excitement, Mary Ann wonders and worries, "Will Corny come back?" Four stars because it wasn't quite as exciting or as funny as the last Mary Ann novel, Love and Mary Ann. Still good tho. |
