Search - A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana

A really great tale of growing up in a very small town where everyone knows your business and your home phone number. Zippy is not your average little girl. She is spunky, gutsy, and imaginative. This author has such a funny sense of humor that this book just chugs along and suddenly you're finished with it and it's over. I really enjoyed her outlook on life as a child. If you are looking for a "feel-good" memoir, this one, I promise, delivers. Highly recommended.

This was a book I bought for a book club read. It is a sweet narrative about "growing up small in Mooreland, Indiana." Because each chapter is its own little story, it was an easy book to pick up and put back down again without feeling like I was leaving the characters hanging in suspense. Or to look at it from another angle, it wasn't one of those books that I just couldn't put down. In all though, it was a lighthearted enjoyable read, and one that had me laughing at times until I cried.

Laugh out loud book. As comfortable as a pair of fuzzy socks. This is a wonderful little memoir of growing up in a small town in the late 60's/early 70s. I loved it.

Cute story of a girl growing up in a small town. Funny and touching. A fast read.

This book was both hilarious and tragic! Written extremely well, I often laughed until I was in tears. I will not be posting this book for swapping anytime soon as I have several friends in line to borrow it!

This story was witty and cleverly written, I actually read it twice since it was so humorous. It's similar to Crystal Castles, without the gloom. Great book!
