Summary: My Louisiana Sky
Review: Tiger Ann is a typical girl who is bright in school and good at baseball. The unfortunate part about her life is that the girls in her class often tease her about her family. Tiger knows that her family is rather different from many other families. They are mentally slow, and Tiger keeps her embarrassment hidden as long as her grandmother runs the household. Suddenly Granny dies, and Tiger is left to the care of her parents with her aunt. She offers Tiger Ann to come live with her, but Tiger has to make the right choice.

My favorite part in the story was when Jesse Wade, her friend, kisses her when she least expected it. She ran away from him telling him to stay away from her. She didn't think or what want her friendship with Jesse Wade to become like that. She just didn't think of him that way. After she started talking to him again and forgave him for the kiss, she thought that he wasn't that bad and was actually glad that HE was the one that gave her first kiss. So after that, they still stayed as best friends.

I enjoyed this book very much. At the beginning, it was boring and I wanted to put it down, but then , as I got further into the story, I found it much more interesting. My teacher, Mrs. Stepp recommended this book. I think it is a great book for students between the ages of 10-13, or even adults too! It tells how someone should not like them because of their family, but how they should like someone for the way they are. All in all, this is a fascinating book!

Summary: Whats a girl to do???
Review: Tiger is an average girl. Her parents dnot have a lot of money. Although Aunt Dorie Kay does. Dorie Kay lives in Baton Rouge . She is a sweet lady and has a big apartment. Tiger's Momma and Daddy are "different". They are slow. Some people say retarded but that sounds so mean. Jesse Wade is Tigers best Friend and has been forever. They tell their deepest, Darkest secrets. Gram is the one who does everything. She is the glue who holds everyone together.
Tiger doesnt say that her parents are slow. If anyone says anything she just pretends they arnt there. Then Abby Lynn starts to become friends with tiger or so Tiger thinks. Then Jesse Wade tells Tiger the biggest of all his secrets. She finally finds true love. I think this book was very good i've read it 3 times now. It's very discriptive. It also relates to a lot of teenagers. I would reccomend this book to anyone who loves drama and romance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Heartwarming!
Review: What a wonderful, heartwarming book! I can't recommend it enough. As I read My Louisiana Sky, I felt surrounded by warmth and love.

The story takes place back in the '50s when that wonderful soft drink known as a Grapette was popular. Tiger, the main character, lives with her parents and Granny in a small country town. After tragedy strikes, Tiger must decide whether she wants to move to the big city with her sophisticated aunt or remain in Saitter with her parents.

The characters in this book were very likable and appealing. I especially admired the strong, warm characters of Granny and Magnolia.

Rating: 5 stars
