Cierra's book review

In the beginning Sarah looses her library book and goes to the library lady to tell her. There is a new library lady named Miss Allen and the family becomes very attached to her. This family is Jewish and the first holiday is Sabbath. This is a big event for the children and they loved going shopping for food with Mama. They had so much fun eatting all the good food and reading about God. The next holiday was Purim Day, which is when the children dress up and go around to family, friends, and neighbors and give them Purim baskets. Next in the story is when Passover begins and Ella, Sarah, Charlotte, and Girdie come down with scarlet fever so they don't get to celebrate Passover. The next big event is when Mama and the girls go to the beach for a day. The children where very cold from walking in the water so Mama decided to take them all to the boardwalk. While they where there they walked pass the Wonders of the World, which they called the freaks. They stopped to look but then kept on walking. Then, after a while, Mama relized that Henny wasn't with them anymore. So she looked for her but wasn't sucussful. The she sent Ella, the oldest, to look for her. Then someone told Ella to go to the police station. So Ella told Mama and they all went to the police station to find Henny sitting there eating ice-cream. Next is the holiday Succos where the family builds a Succah house to eat in at night. When the house was built the children wanted Charlie to come over. Charlie is Papa's friend, who is very handsome,but when he was younger lost the love of his life because his parent didn't want him to get married. For a long time Charlie has been looking for his long lost love. Back to the story, the children also wanted Miss Allen to come over. As it turns out, the long lost love of Charlies was Miss Allen, the library lady. After they saw each other they went to talk to Charlies parents. A new baby! Mama is having another baby. Everyone is excited except for Gerdie, the youngest, because she doesn't get to be the baby anymore. Papa wanted to have a boy but he knew after having 5 girls, there was no way Mama was going to have a boy. As it turns out... It's a BOY!!!

An Amazing All-of-a-Kind Family

I really enjoued this book. It's about a family of five (Ella, 12, Henny, 10, Sarah, 8, Charlotte, 6, Gertie, 4, and later, a baby boy) who live in the upper East Side of New York during the turn of the century. They live simply, but have wonderful every-day adventures and a strong family bond. It didn't drag on, it was very short and sweet. A really good book for readers age 8-12. You can really connect with the characters, and find a bit of yourself in every one of them. The characters are believable and it is written very cleverly. This is a wonderful book and is a must-read.

Lost Childhood treasure

I have this book already. The cover is gone. The back pages are ripped but it is one of my favorite stories. I am 32 now and am reading it for the 100th time. :) And in the middle of reading about Sarah losing her library book, I thought of Amazon. You have it and 2 others about my favorite family!!! I'm thrilled that now I can order the books to treasure for 32 more years!!
