Summary: Review of the Book I read
Review: This book was a strange book. That's why I didn't really like it. I think that they put in to much characters. Also there were that much of a setting. This was confusing at some parts,and it made me read on at some parts too.This book wouldn't be in my top 20 neither in my top 30. This book would get a three star.

Summary: A corner of the universe
Review: This is one of those books that you will never forget once you've read it. I left a piece of my heart and soul, with every tear I shed. I found this book in my kids school library, no one had checked it out yet. I was looking for a quick read, I found that in "A corner of the universe." I could not put the book down. When Adam was happy and filled with joy, I was happy too. When Hattie felt shame and hurt, I found myself hurting for her. This book is about differences between family and freinds and how to fill in the gaps to cross that bridge of differences. We read how Hattie faces these challenges with here peer group, which include an older set and younger set. There is a great amount of truth and reality in the book that will leave you with a range of emotions.

Summary: A Corner of the Universe
Review: This was a very good book. I really enjoyed reading it and i was very excited to read it and I could not put it down once I started it. I thought that out of all the books that I have read of Ann M. Martin has wrote was one of the best. I enjoyed the way that Ann M. Martin made this book a book that related to teens. I also liked how she had the writing in a setting that was back in the olden days so I kind of got a feel for what things may have been like back then. I would recommend this book for anybody who likes books of back then.

Summary: Visit THIS Corner of the Universe
Review: Visit THIS Corner of the UniverseA Corner of the Universe is a book about a girl named Hattie Owen. She lives in her parent?s boarding house, along with Angel Valentine, Miss Hagerty, and Mr. Penny. Hattie is lives like a normal girl but is very shy and feels most comfortable in her own house with her own family. She lives a couple blocks down from her grandmother, who is well off and very controlling.
After her twelfth birthday, things start to turn a lot different from what she is use to. Her uncle, who lives in a medical home, comes to live with her grandparents unexpectedly. This confuses Hattie because she had no idea that her mother even had a brother. It seemed to her that everyone tried to keep Adam a secret and forget about him. So that very summer she becomes attached to him and seems almost break out of her shell. One of the surprising things that happened to her was a carnival came to her town. She went there several times and made her first true friend named, Catherine.
I really liked this book because it is an easy read and a very good plot. It is very similar to Ann Martin?s other books, which are equally good.
All in all, I rate this book 4 stars. The only things that I would change about this book, is to start the main story sooner. It starts out a little slow, but catches you in the end.

Summary: SUPERBLY READ TALE OF FRIENDSHIP AND GROWTH
Review: While the hardcover version of this touching story is geared for 9 - 12-year-old readers, it contains a message for all. It is a reminder of the need for compassion and understanding. Beautifully read by two time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey it is the story of a life changing summer for 12-year-old Hattie. Her life has been rather predictable to date. She shares a home with her parents, a boarding house filled with outre characters. The life her mother and father have chosen is not at all in keeping with what her grandparents would wish, but that's fine with Hattie. And then there is a visitor, Adam - a surprising and intriguing young man. What is even more surprising for Hattie is to learn that he is a 21-year-old uncle, someone the family has never mentioned. His school, a home for the mentally impaired, has closed and here he is. Soon, Hattie and Adam are friends. They go places together, and it is through him that her life expands in ways that she had never imagined. All will listen, enjoy, and learn from this tale of friendship and growth. - Gail Cooke
