I picked this book up at the library one day when I didn't have much time for browsing around. I saw that it had an audio version and knew that typically only the better books get made into audio. Since I had a long car ride coming up, I grabbed the audio book and checked it out.

It is WONDERFUL. I can't believe I've never heard of the author or the book before. The characters -- daughter, Mom, Grandmom are all likeable and entertaining. They each have very different desires and the back and forth as they negotiate their daily lives is very funny and very believable. I haven't finished the book yet, as it outlasted the drive, but each day as I jump in my car I can hardly wait to get back to it (don't ask why someone old enough to drive a car is listening to a tape in the juvenile section).

Ms. Koller, this book is the berries!!! (Only the author, those who have read the book, or are fairly old will quite understand the meaning of that line).

i live near the Quabbin Reservoir. And when i read this book i finally realized the Reservoir was not made by nature t was made by people. And the worst park is, when they made the reservoir for Boston, here was plenty of space near Boston, but no, they had to destory peopels home instead. Somday is a wonderful book that tells what Celie Wheeler is going through at the time of the GreatDepression and losing her home and will give you new expericences. You should definitly read this book!!!!!!

Someday was a terrific novel.I enjoyed reading about what life was like for Celie's family and friends. I also learned about a piece of history. I learned what it was like for many people during the Depression and how they handled certain situations. Celie always knew that 'someday' was comming but she never really expected it to come so fast. The town of Enfield is being destroyed to make a resovouir for Boston. Elizabeth Wheeler is detertmined to stay right where she is. She won't allow anyone to talk her into leaving. Celie and her mother have a hard time putting up with her. When Jake, a worker from the MDWSC, meets the Wheeler family Gran starts to warm up. Celie and her mom discover that they both have a crush on him and feelings are hurt. At the end Celie realizes everything that she's been doing wrong. She tells Chubby how much she loves him and he loves her in return. Celie is lost and confused. Gran died after they had to aution off all of her belongings and now Mama is making Celie move to Chicago. Celie just wants to be with the people she knows and loves, but it's not possible. Someday finally came.

Someday by Jackie French Koller is the best book I've read so far that is good from the begining to the end it is about Celie Wheeler,her Mother,Gram and her best friend Cubby who live in Enfield during 1938 which was flooded to create a reservoir for Bosten read the book and find out what happens
