Today I've asked my teen daughter to help me with this book review. She took the book from me the moment it came into the house. She was so delighted. I copied off a book report outline from Sheila Wray Gregoire website. From her answers on the book report form I turned them into interview style questions. I trust you enjoy this form of review my daughter and I have done with Melody Carlson's book the Best Friend.
