Amalee
It took only two days on the subway to finish Amalee, and I think it was just what the doctor ordered - an easy, straightforward book that didn't leave me crying during my afternoon commute. The intended audience is probably a fourth or fifth grade girl, but I still enjoyed it, and I hope that it's a book that Nora will enjoy in 9 or 10 years. I'll continue with Lights, Camera, Amalee next, and I expect the same level of goodness.
