My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed reading this book. I love the relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter. It warms my heart and reminds me of myself and my own grandmothers. Plus, besides good cuddly family relationships, there is drama and mystery, which is kind of unexpected, and makes the book all the more exciting. This book was very hard to put down once I started it, and the author is an amazing storyteller! This is a great book to cuddle with on a cold winter's night!
