Commentary Supposing Books The Wonder of Charlie Anne

Charlie Anne is devastated when her father must go north to build roads after the Depression hits. She and her siblings are left with their rigid cousin, Mirabel, and a farm full of chores. The only solace Charlie Anne finds is by the river, where the memory of her mother is strongest.
 
Then her neighbor Old Mr. Jolly brings home a new wife, Rosalyn, who shows up in pants—pants!—the color of red peppers. With her arrives Phoebe, a young African American girl who has also lost her mother. Phoebe is smart and fun and the perfect antidote to Charlie Anne's lonely days. The girls soon forge a friendship and learn from each other in amazing ways.
 
But when hatred turns their town ugly, it's almost more than they can bear. Now it's up to Charlie Anne and Phoebe to prove that our hearts are always able to expand.

Criticize Regarding Books The Wonder of Charlie Anne

The wonder of Charlie Anne is a inspiring book its ion the time of The Great Depression. So many people are trying to either going to Boston to build road to make money for the family or working on the farms. Charlie Anne has two brothers and two sisters and they had lost their mother due to cancer. But Charlies mom talks to he occasionally because she is buried by the river where she goes and Charlie Anne has conversations with her like she is still there. Their father had to have their cousin

Charlie Anne is growing up during the Depression in a small farming community in Massachusetts. She has lost her mother and now her father and older brother have left to go build roads up North. Charlie Anne and her siblings are left on the farm in care of her mother's bossy cousin Mirabel who is determined to teach the children manners, especially Charlie Anne. She doesn't give the children any time for fun - only chores and more chores, most of which go to Charlie Anne. Whenever she can slip

I love Charlie Anne's voice. She is feisty and full of life and hope. This is another beautifully written bookby Kimberly Newton Fusco.

This book is beautifully written, with a savory evocative imaginative heartfelt protaganist.Charlie Anne really is a wonder.

I think when I see lemon drops, I will think of Birdie in this book. Birdie is Charlie Annes youngest sister and this girl can make a lemon drop last forever.

She LOVED it, but I suspect that may have a lot to do with identifying with the main character, who appears to have dyslexia (that word is never used). I also enjoyed the book. I feel like Charlie Anne (and her family and friends) came to be our friend by the end. An endearing character. I loved her conversations with her mother and her cows most of all. And it had (view spoiler)[a very satisfying ending! (hide spoiler)] It's important to

So I'm thinking that even though I am all done reading Charlie Anne's story, I really do miss her 'cause I got to know her like a real good friend, how she missed her Mama and all, and then her Daddy went north and left her with that Mirabel, who was trying to make a proper lady out of her, but I guess we'll just see about that, won't we? And Charlie Anne felt like she was my best friend, too, the way she talked to her cows and her hens and her cat named Big Pumpkin Face and the things that
