The Book of Bright Ideas
camperchick avatar reviewed on + 17 more book reviews


I couldn't stop reading this book. You know those book suggestions on Amazon, "people who ordered this book also ordered..."? Those who enjoyed The Secret Life of Bees would enjoy The Book of Bright Ideas. Told from the perspective of a nine year old girl, the text plunges the reader into her thoughts, hopes, and fears with ease. My favorite thing about this book is the way the characters (and ultimately the reader) are able to learn from other characters who are flawed in some way. Everyone has something to share--some wisdom to impart, and this delightful story brings that point home in such a satisfying way.
