megantheeflamingo 's review for:
The Center of Everything
by Linda Urban
So I thought this was on the Mock Newbery list. Whoops. I got the author wrong. Oh well. This book was okay, but it talked about donuts a lot, and that made me want to eat a lot of donuts. But I didn't have any donuts. So I kept reading. The story jumped around a lot, and it took me a while to figure out that the chronological story that was happening in real time was the actual point of the book. The flashbacks to the very recent past were interspersed to make you question what was happening right then and if everything would turn out okay. I was impressed with how Ruby comes to terms with her feelings over her grandmother's death. It's never easy, especially when you are young.
