The Promise di Jackie French Koller
Family
This book is sweet and adorable and gives an alternate view of children’s fears, a laugh, and can be for Halloween or everyday.
Re-read/listen. Actually, I quit about half way don't really want to re-read anymore. I need to wait for a grandkid.
Wonderfully written story set in the Great Depression. Danny Garvey's father must leave his family in NYC in order to go try to find work. Danny becomes the man of the house at the age of 14 while still trying to keep up with school, shoeshine business, and his growing fondness for the girl next door.
Interesting characters fill the story with love, anger, despair, and hope.
