Almost Home

I think Almost Home was a really good book. I recommend this book for anyone who really likes girl protagonists (like me). This book was very well written so that's why I rate it 5 stars.

I really liked this book. I read it in one sitting, because I didn't want to put it down. I recommend this book to any girl around the age of 11 or 12. It is a really good plot with realistic characters. I really liked it.

When i read What every girl except me knows, i thought, wow, now there is never going to be a book better than this. when nora raleigh baskin came out with this book, almost home, i was amazed to see that she had come out with another book even better than her first. if shes coming out with a third book, i just cant wait to read it!

Almost Home is written by Nora Raleigh Baskin. This book is extraordinary and is highly recommended for summer reading for both girls and boys. This is Ms. Baskin's seconed novel. She has also created What Every Girl (Except Me) Knows. She grew up in New Paltz, NY, as well as in Brooklyn. The main character in this book is Leah Baer; she is twelve yeas old and lives in New Paltz, New York. One of the very important minor characters is Will Hiller, the only one who seems to like her. Leah's parents are divorced, and she is living with her father, and her stepmother. The genre of this book is realistic fiction. There are real places mentioned in the book that are here in New Paltz such as Huguenot Street and the Mohonk Mountains. The book was great and highly recommended.

This book is great for tweens ages 9-14. I could easily relate to the main character Leah, and all her actions and emotions. Baskin really puts down in words what is going on in a 12 year old's head. I couldn't put the book dwon for a second IT WAS GREAT~I would read this book over and over again. If you love this book (like i do) i highly request reading her 1st book WHAT EVERY GIRL EXCEPT ME KNOWS, also.
