NCLA Review - In Something to Sing About, the reader is immediately swept into the obsessive-compulsive life of Jamie Jo Morgan as she deals with her fear of bees. There are many other issues in the chaotic life of this ten-year-old that are dealt with in a positive way that could help the reader in their own life. The positive ways are not necessarily based on scripture but on that of good morals. Written by a mother for the juvenile audience, a couple of words (fire-pee) are included that could make it not acceptable in some church libraries. This was one of the funniest juvenile books I have ever read and I had a hard time putting it down! Rating: 3 —ARG (
