I read the Booky Trilogy and I was so impressed by it, that I E-mailed Sullivan Entertainment (Anne of Green Gables, Road to Avonlea) asking if they would make a television series about the book. There are so many story possibilities for a TV show that the Booky character could provide. It is even better that the story is based on the writer's real life. As a lifelong resident of Toronto I enjoyed reading about life in Toronto during the 1930's. I loved the many historical clips interspersed throughout the book, like the shoes sold in the Eaton's catalogue. The book also shows readers that you don't have to have alot of money to have fun. I look forward to more books that continue Booky's story.
Very realistic and interesting

I really enjoyed your book Bernice. I read all the booky books about 5 times. I felt so bad when I heard that the turn down from L.M Montgomery had really happened. When I was told you had moved to scarborough I was dissapointed. Because I wanted to meet you so very badly. The book I enjoyed most was "That Scatterbrain Booky" I enjoyed that one because it told me very much about the "1930's" My grandma grew up during the depresion so she explained to me what a "Hoop and Stick" was. They sound very fun and difficult also.

Fun-loving, adorable Booky is growing up. She is being swept off her feet by handsome suitors and having a ball at the same time. Booky is achieving some of her dreams and learning to accept her failures. Then...the world war threatens her now stable life and reality as she knows it
The best of the three
