graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Confusion Is Nothing New in Books

Feb 15, 2019

A short and breezy book about a girl's coming to terms with the death of a mother she never knew and her journey to discover who her mother was. The author has a light touch so while it never gets too maudlin, it nevertheless feels (mostly) realistic. There are many humorous moments along the way, as well as more and more of Ellie's friends and teachers pop up to help her. This was a fast, easy and fun little book that I would recommend for tweens and younger teens.

Received through Amazon Vine.

To an almost nine year old who had trouble reading oh so long ago, with the help of my mother, I became so engrossed in reading these books aloud, that I now have everything ever written about Pern. (0 more)

Learned to read with these books

Learning about Pern from Lessa’s point of view was enchanting from a nine year old’s perspective. Over thirty years later, I reread this series over and over again. Both my mother and grandmother had read the series before me and now I’m reading it to my nine year old niece.

Just as she is going into labor, Kate Connolly learns her brother-in-law, George, is missing and may be a murder victim. While trying to juggle becoming a mother, Kate also tries to learn what is really going on with George. I found the scenes between mother and baby heart warming and the plot intriguing. I didn't want to put it down, and can't wait to read the next one.
