(Not) Judging Books by Their Covers

Self discovery, shmelf discovery. This is my reading adventure through the library, pure and simple.

The Postcard by Tony Abbott

Youth Fiction Pick


   Now, if you read my Firegirl review, you know that I enjoyed Tony Abbott. The Postcard is no exception. Written for a younger audience, this "mystery within a mystery" is engaging for all readers and something I like as a mother of boys, a male protagonist.
   Jason has just begun his summer vacation when he learns that he must join his father in a visit to Florida. Jason's paternal grandmother who he doesn't know and is rarely spoken of has died. Unhappy with being there and while cleaning up, Jason unexpectedly learns something about his grandmother through an old postcard. The mystery adventure begins.
  

Favorite Quote:

"There was no fight, no rumble of berets and spatulas and walkers.


Overall Opinion:

Grab your 8-12 year olds and wow them with a good time with a good book!
