Abandoned this one early on when the old "God makes everything happen for a reason" was slathered on thick. Ick. (

Lesson to be learned: your wishes will come true even if you aren’t the one to make them. This was an amazing book, one that I will purchase for both my school library and for home. Olive has OI, osteogenesis imperfecta and all she wants to do is attend MS and meet her BFF. Her parents eventually allow her to go and there Olive’s adventure begins. She meets her BFF, her relationship with her stepbrother blossoms and she has her wish “granted” by the elusive hummingbird. Not only a heartbreaking story but one that stays with you long after you read it. I absolutely loved Olive, her parents treated her as fragile, only in the sense that they wanted her to be careful in an unknown world. The family dynamic was one that I haven’t seen before: divorced parents who are best friends, a grandfather and uncle who would move the world for Olive and a step-dad who love her as his own. Olive’s parents allowed her the freedom to become whatever she wanted. Olive is a character that is not only special but one that young girls should aspire to be. Thank you Natalie Lloyd for sharing this inspiring story, one that resonates with me and helps the reader walk in your shoes. (

Olive Miracle Martin is eleven years old living in a house in the woods of Wildwood, Tennessee with people who love her completely. She is short, fragile and has bones that look like lace. She has Osteogenesis imperfecta. She is “whole constellations of wonders and weirdness and hope.”

A sweet, moving, uplifting story that has you cheering for Olive from start to finish. She is a kid that sees the good in most people and situations and always plays it forward. She is on a mission to finally attend Macklemore Middle School and find her BFF. Loads of great characters, funny and insightful dialog and situations and a Pelican that keeps window crashing. One joy-kaboom short of 5 stars. (

I was so glad the protagonist was disabled, and the book spent time on it and had it shape her worldview. I'm disabled too, but not a wheelchair user and don't have the bone thing. Still, we had some shared experiences in this. That's where the positivity in me about this book ends. This novel was insufferable to the point of being UNBEARABLE. So cloyingly twee! By the forty-seven percent mark, I gritted my teeth and started to skim. Rainbow-hued books in a library that seems like a castle, a librarian who borders on immature, and EXOTIC ANIMALS AS SERVICE ANIMALS IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL. They're heavily and dare I say it, unrealistically domesticated. They're essentially pets for twee writing. Bacon is a swearword? Why? What? Who are these people? Annoyed and disappointed sigh. (
