The Usual Rules
by Joyce Maynard (Goodreads Author)
by Joyce Maynard (Goodreads Author)
Another sad book....a little girl who lives in NY. Time frame is 9/11. Mom works at Towers.
I think because I experienced this event (via tv, not personally), I can relate to it so much more and really put the descriptions of happenings to the news reports I saw that day. It's amazing!
I have to put it down every once in awhile when reading it in a classroom--as I don't want to start crying over this little girl's tragedy. But definitely worth reading. My daughter is wanting to read it next. :)
Finished the book--wow, what an emotional ride this little girl went on. The author's attention to detail was amazing. Can't wait to discuss w/ my daughter after she reads.
