“A story about the bond that happens when we let others into our lives. It all begins when 12-year-old Reena, her little brother, Luke, and their parents first move to Maine. You’ll love Mrs. Falala and Zara the cow. Intriguing? Used as a “first novel” for young readers. Check it out, and other books Sharon Creech has written. She’s very creative with words and the phrasing of lines, which makes reading out loud fun and very enjoyable.
