Review

This book is about an 8-year-old girl dealing with a big change. She has moved with her family from rural Canada to Ontario where it is much more citified. You name it, it has changed. She is not pleased and narrates and describes the differences between there (her old home) and here (her new home.) The illustrations are exceptional and the story of change is universal. The lesson children will learn is that a change is not necessarily good or bad. Change is inevitable and can be dealt with, especially when a new friend is made. I would recommend this title for the beginner reader set.

Overall Book Score: very good
