Mountain Pose,is about a girl who loses a grandma that she hardly knew exsisted.In her grandma's will,Ellie is given the land and some old diaries with secret symbol sentenes.Ellie and her best friend Leese try to figure out what the secret symbols really mean.Ellie's father isn't sure if he should let Ellie have the land.He thinks the diaries will cause somthing to hppen to her.Father and Ellie move to the land, and Ellie starts to like it.
I think the author was trying to put the message that it doesn't matter where you are,you should try to keep close to your friends.The other message is to not be frieghtened when something big happens because you don't how it's going to turn out.
This book is fantastic because the author makes everything in the book realalistic. Moutain Pose is both sad, happy,and very exciting.It was hard for me to put the book down.

Nancy Hope Wilson's Mountain Pose tells of Ellie, who receives an unexpected inheritance of family records when her estranged grandmother dies. Ellie finds the family farm and diaries a powerful connection to a veiled past: despite her father's warning she reads them and begins to understand the tensions which have divided their lives. Realistic and riveting.
