Dear Sweet Pea by Julie Murphy
4.0
Sweet Pea is a great character. Her parents are recently divorced but live on the same street with one neighbor between them (the eccentric Miss Flora Mae). Flora Mae has an advice column in the local paper. While Flora is away visiting a family member, she asks Sweet Pea to take care of her plants and send her the letters of those seeking advice. Flora Mae is dealing with dividing her time between two homes, trying to figure out why her ex-best friend is her ex-best friend and she really wants to know what her father is hiding from her.
This unfolds nicely and is filled with likable side characters like Sweet Pea's Best Best friend Oscar and Miss Flora Mae herself. I liked that the art of letter writing is what helps guide Sweet Pea to enlightenment. A sweet look at the end of junior high and the shedding of assumptions about those around us.
