Review

Change is not easy for Celie, who has moved to a new school far from her friends, is making new friends, learning to live with her ill Granny and the nurse who takes care of her, and trying to fix things between her sister Jo and Jo's boyfriend. The story is told in diary form, complete with lined pages and lots of illustrations throughout. Celie is a plucky and delightful young girl who is able to make astute observations about herself and those around her. Despite a minor disaster, all turns out well in the end.

Overall Book Score: good
