Big World Small Feet

   A charming book written by an excellent author, Jennifer L. Holm. It was intense but smooth through-out the book and I loved it! I have never been a fan of realistic fiction, but this book just made me want to keep reading more! This enchanting story that is set in 1953 inside an Italian family living in America. It is about a delightful and rumbuntious 11 year old girl who wants what every kid wants in the summer; butter-pecan ice cream, swimming, and base-ball. But this summer is full of unpleasant surprises. For starters, her uncle who plays base-ball with her is living in a car. She can’t go swimming because her mother is afraid she will catch polio at the pool. This is turning out really bad, huh? There are some really heart-warmingmoments in this book though. I loved this book and I am sure you will to!
