Hennepin County Library paperback 205 pages

I loved this one! A jack-in-the-beanstalk story that includes a sister with autism and killer plants, I would definitely recommend this for middle school readers. Love it!

My summaries and reactions are not carefully thought out, but rather spontaneous responses to what I read. Begun in December 2007, it is not as thorough as I wish it were!

About Me
- Jeanne LaMoore
- I'm in my 50s, happily married, and appreciate my three wonderful sons and their wives. I have a huge soft spot for my "grands" and love to spend time with them. I love Jesus and strive to follow Him faithfully. I no longer teach full time, but I work at different part time jobs and consider myself incredibly blessed.
