Marilyn Y. (Mairjalin) reviewed on 6/20/2006 + 17 more book reviews

This book came highly recommended. I enjoyed it but it seemed like a typical Oprah book. Lily, a young girl has lost her mother and her father pretty much either ignores her or is abusive. Rosaleen, a black woman who is her nanny, goes to town with Lily to register to vote and gets into trouble by saying more than she should and is arrested. Lily manages to break her out of jail and their adventure begins. There are some good lessons learned here and you get the bonus of learning a lot about bees!
