A review by emmasyaya
Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes

4.0

i found this on the banned books shelf, and since i absolutely love mr. henkes' pictures books, i picked it up. how on earth, i wondered, could the author of "wemberly worried" write a book that ended up on the challenged list? the answer is that clearly there are people in this world with waaaayyy too much time on their hands, and brains the size of wrinkled peas. this was a charming book, one that i would recommend to any child in that "tween" age group. i would sure rather have kids reading a book like this than anything from "the babysitter's club" or any other books of that ilk.
