i liked the idea of reading about a family in distress, as mine was when i found this other book years ago. i also found this one, but the other one, with much of the same subject and even some similar details, was the one I found helpful.Getting Near to Baby (2000 Newbery Honor Book)

I read almost half way through this book and I could no longer stand it. This book was mostly deatails and no story. Details about what this looked like and what that looked like and what she looked like and he looked like. Get on with the story. What a waste. 100 pages of this book can be summed up in 2-3 sentences.

This book was one that I will recomend to girls ages 9-13. This is a great book for anyone who has delt with the loss of someone that they've lost. After her father dying, Mack's (main character) little sister stops talking. Once their constantly moving small family settles down for awhile, things start to change for Mack and her family. Her mom gets a new boyfriend, which makes Mack extreamly uncomfortable, and someone having an unwanted crush on Mack also makes her feel quite umcomfortable as well.
This book was a great read, and as the other reviewer said before me: It is not extreamly boring!! It is an interesting and great book to read, and I liked it because I could really relate to Mack. This is one that I would highly reccomend!!!!!!

I read Memory Jug by Patricia Martin and i gave it two stars. I rated it two stars because the plot was pretty weak. The story dragged and was very uninteresting. The author went into way too much detail on describing small things. She spent about five pages describing the christmas tree in the story and only one on something more interesting like the memory jug itself. The characters were pretty believable because they did things like playing in the snow, going sledding, and they showed sadness.
