Turkey and Treasure in the 40's,
By Plume45 "kitka12345" (Westchester, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thanksgiving Treasure: An Addie Mills Story - From the Television Special (Hardcover)
Eleven-year-old Addie's family spans three generations; her busy but understanding grandmother, her preoccupied and undemonstrative father, and our skinny heroine in glasses and braids. Having learned about the original Thanksgiving at school, Addie wants to reenact the ideals of gratitude and hospitality in her 1947 present. Trouble is--her proposed guest of honor is a cantankerous old coot who cheated her father over some construction work. The bad blood between them is so thick that it will be impossible to corral both men at the same table. Yet this spunky little gal, who wants to be a painter in Paris, is determined to arrange a reconciliation, dragging her best friend, loyal Carla Mae, into the risky business. Addie insists on being neighborhly to the recluse, which leads to her discovery of an unkempt dream horse. This book, the sequel to THE HOUSE WITHOUT A CHRISTMAS TREE, proves that kindness is never wasted--a lesson that children need to learn and adults need to remember. A short, light read which will appeal to gradeschool girls (especially those looking for a "short" book report)!

5.0 out of 5 stars
absolutely great,
By Kathy A. Guay (Louisiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thanksgiving Treasure, The (Paperback)
I have always loved "House Without A Christmas Tree" and "The Thanksgiving Treasure". I read the books over and over again as a child. My best friend and I would even pretend we were Addie and Carla Mae and get fall bouquets with cattails. I wish that I could order the books. I noticed that "Thanksgiving" is not available. I have 4 daughters and would love for them to read these and have the same wonderful memories that I have. I have "Christmas" video and I watch it over and over again during the season. Thanks, Gail Rock, for creating such heartwarming stories.

This review is from: The Thanksgiving treasure (Hardcover)
This is a great book that teaches you that your enemies can be your friends. Not all of your enemies have to be your friends, but this teaches you some of your enemies can be your friends.I am 9 yrs old and would recommend it. Martin
