About the author

In first grade, Janet Spaeth was asked to write a summary of a story about a family making maple syrup. She wrote all during class, through morning recess, lunch, and afternoon recess, and asked to stay after school. When the teacher pointed out that a summary was supposed to be shorter than the original story, Janet explained that she didn’t feel the readers knew the characters well enough, so she was expanding on what was in the first-grade reader. Thus a writer was born. She lives in the Midwest and loves to travel, but to her, the happiest word in the English language is home.

Reviews

[Darlene · Rating 3 out of 5]

Having always been intrigued by Minnesota, I was drawn to this book. I did enjoy the ties to New York within the stories and the humor was cute. At times the flow seemed rushed and some characters were quite dull.
