I learned a lot of new things about baseball.

This is a fantastic book of Bertrice Small. It follows the titular character through multiple adventures and multiple marriages. No one can write romance like thr late Bertrice Small.

Finished the book. Like the show better

Good

My favorite part was when the volcano erupted.

It wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm not sure if I can quantify why--perhaps it's because I felt the romance was a bit all over the place; as a reader I was rooting for Tian Bai, partially because it felt like that was who Li lan wanted to be with for a majority of the novel. Intellectually, I recognized/knew that Er Lang made more sense for Li lan, but I had not yet fully switched to rooting for Er Lang before the novel ended. The writing also at times felt a bit distanced (emotionally) but that was a smaller concern for me.

This is my favorite book. Although it was originally written for children/tweens, I think will always be relevant to me no matter what age. The story follows protagonist Salamanca Tree Hiddle as she travels across state borders with her grandparents to visit her mother, all the while telling the extravagant tales of Phoebe Winterbottom and Ms. Cadaver. Not many books are as perfectly written as this one, but Creech does it once again, pulling at your heartstrings and making your spirit sing Salamanca's story.

I liked the pirate theme!

I learned when you eat sugar your body breaks it down into glucose. It spreads around your body and gives you energy

I like big foot in the story.
