A Good American by Alex George **
This was a book that followed several generations of a family that emigrated from Germany to the United States and ended up in rural Missouri. The beginning was very interesting. In the second half there was a lot about hormonal teenage boys which is the worst. I kept reading because I had been so engaged with the characters at the beginning. It was a disappointment though.
Oleander Girl by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni ****
Fabulous. Dangerous because I wanted to abandon everything to finish reading. It is about a girl raised in India by very protective and loving grandparents. They did keep some secrets from her though. A great book.
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo ****
We listened to this book on our recent road trip. It is young adult fiction and everything young adult fiction should be. It was inspiring and uplifting and entertaining and I liked it.
