Bigger than a Bread Box by Laurel Snyder

5.0

Bigger than a Breadbox is the first book by Laurel Snyder that I have read, but it will not be the last! This book was wonderful - and when a book for those difficult "Tween" ages is a great read for an adult, that says a lot. Twelve year old Rebecca is a smart, level headed kid trying to get through an angry confusing time of parental conflicts - and I missed her when I wasn't reading. The author knows how to build a story and add just enough teen drama to keep the reader entranced, while keeping the main focus on Rebecca, and her growth as a character.
Then there is the breadbox....my favorite part of the story...it adds a dimension that makes this novel take off!
Loved it! (Thank you, Henry, for the recommendation!)
