Reviews

Faith, Hope, and Ivy June by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

Being from Lexington, I was hoping that there would be a little more description in this book. I did like the Exchange Student aspect of the book, though I think that most of the "girls" were a little harsher than what I would expect. I cried and laughed right along with the girls.
