2 out of 5
This book was a
disappointment - I did not find the characters quirky or the story an offbeat,
deliciously wicked comedy as stated in the summary. I also feel it would not hold the attention of
the intended audience; not enough excitement - it's more of a true to life
story about a small town in 1914 .
Although I did find the writing in juvenile language and tone, I feel
all three of Peck's novels I have read will interest adults who may know some
of their own family's stories from that time period more than the younger ages. It is a good "reflection" story
similar to A Long Way From Chicago.
