For years my grandmother and mother in law both had blue willow dishes so I knew immediately what the picture on that plate would be. I also knew where Janey Larkin's heart was. Doris Gates takes the reader to the heart of this young girl and we live in her hopes and dreams and fears right along with her. I am sure young readers take that trip too. There is good reason for this book to have won the Newbery Honor award.
