Absolutely Truly
by Heather Vogel Frederick
4 stars
This was such a fun read. Maybe a little more...oh, what’s the word? Deep? Realness? Than the Vanderbeeker’s series with Truly’s military father losing an arm while deployed and all the teasing from siblings and schoolmates. But, I did really enjoy this story and all the bookstore parts. (I would say the Vanderbeeker’s series has more of a whimsical vibe than this story, though, this one is more realistic. I comment/compare the two because they are both Middle Grade books with large families and family dynamics.) I definitely am looking forward to reading the next book and hope to get this book for my own collection. Overall pretty clean with mentions of going to church.
Content:
Quite a bit of teasing over names and heights (but most of them are stopped by adults or other kids); Mentions of body noises; 3 dumbs, 3 hecks, 7 morons, 8 duhs, 8 shut ups, and 34 stupids.
