lindsey was sent this book way too long ago (thank you for your patience hannah!) by a reader of mine. the reader, hannah barnaby, is actually the author of the book and, knowing lindsey likes to read, offered to send her the book hoping she would like it.
well, she loved it. she read it in about three days. i came down to her reading it alongside her morning cereal the day after she got it.
so, now i am turning over the blog to lindsey to write a little “review” of the book if you will. i told her not to give anything big away!
in wonder show by hannah barnaby, a girl named portia is sent to live at a home for wayward girls which is run by “mister”. there, portia meets caroline. mister wants to marry caroline, but when portia helps her out by trying to stop the wedding, it all goes wrong.
i really enjoyed this book. it was short enough to have the plot move along quickly but long enough to provide the perfect amount of detail. i recommend that everyone read wonder show, though not until they’re about ten years old.
so, if you’ve got any avid readers yourself, maybe consider sticking this in their stocking this christmas?!
thanks lindsey and thanks hannah!

this was so cute! Lindsay's love for reading totally reminds me of myself when I was that age. If you're ever in Cambridge, you guys should stop by Porter Square books. they have a great young adult section, toys for the littles to play with, and a great cafe!
Aww so cute! Great job Lindsey!!
i will keep this in my mind for my neice, who is close in age.

Can I just say how awesome it is Lindsay's on your blog. and in such a cute and creative way! Awesome highlighting that beautiful brain of hers!
Lindsey, you are so smart and witty. And you did a fantastic job with this review!
I love seeing young girls reading. I always had my nose in a book, as soon as I could read. Love it and love that she got to review the book on your blog. Good idea, B : )
I LOVE this book!! I have read it 7 times, and enjoy it more and more each time that I read it. I always discover something new. Who’s your favorite character? Mine’s Gideon. I also TOTALLY recommend this book to anyone, of any age, because I think that you should be able to experience the wonders of this fantastically written novel.
