New Book!

THe new book is called "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith.  I have actually read this book several times but.. I really like the book so I am reading it again!

Anyways it is 404 pages long and i am currently on page 46. 

THe story begins in Williamsburg, Brooklyn of 1912. 

Francie, an eleven-year-old girl,  lives on a very poor district in Brooklyn. On the weekends,  Francie and her little brother go to the junk-seller's place to trade their junks into money. Saving money is an imporant thing for them. Their mom works as a cleaning lady and their dad works as a waiter. 

But there is one thing that Francie thinks as more important than anything. Reading. She loves to read. On Sundays she runs to the library and read, read, and read. ( I know that later, this becomes very useful to her) 

ONce again, I realized how the enthusiesm and the excitement about things can really change how one sees the world.
