Montgomery and Beverly Cleary and Kate DiCamillo and Jeanne Birdsall all rolled into one, which is very high praise indeed!ģ. I adored it, and it’s one of those stories that has stayed with me throughout the year, so I know it’s one I will return to in the future. This charming middle grade novel featuring an unlikely friendship, a box of paint cards, and an unforgettable summer was one of my very favorite reads of the year. It had wonderful characters and writing, and I recently described it to a friend as a mash-up of Sweet Home Alaska (which I also enjoyed this year), The Friendship Doll, and All-of-a-Kind Family!Ģ. Honey Butter by Millie Florence (2017) This fall I discovered that my library had an ebook copy, so I began to read it and … it was so good! It’s the story of a young girl, her sisters, and their immigrant parents, who decide to pull up stakes in Chicago and move to a farm in Wisconsin during the Great Depression. I had heard of this book several years ago and knew I wanted to read it, but I hadn’t gotten to it yet. What the Moon Said by Gayle Rosengren (2014)
