Miracles On Maple Hill by Virginia Sorensen
3.0
My sons told me they loved this book and each wanted to give it 5 stars themselves. I give it 3.5 stars because I am always a bit harsher of a critic with what I read.
A family moves into an old house that was owned by the grandmother of the mom of the story. I have to say this story is set in the 1940s or early 1950s or so? The father was a POW from what I assume was WWII based off of the very few drawings that are in this book. He has not been doing too well with his PTSD, but being in this new location has really helped him a lot. Marly is the main character of the story. She is a little girl who learns about finding small miracles around her. Also, they live in an area known for making maple syrup. A lot of the book talks about sugaring and the process of how to make maple syrup, so I made French toast when we finished the book which made my boys appreciate and understand the syrup they were eating in a new way.
This was definitely a well written book and good to read as a whole family, like we did.
