What Parents Need to Know
About Love Among the Walnuts
Parents need to know that this is good, old-fashioned entertainment. Lively prose adds to the exuberant air. For readers with patience for long speeches and not much action, it's a charmer.

A heartwarming must-read for everyone
This book is my alltime favorite. It really makes me think about love. I love how sunnie and sandy develope a relationship. Everyone finds love or friendship and the bad guys get what they deserve in the end. It's one of the good books you will want to read over and over again.

It was....
This book was a good though slightly weird story that i found quite enjoyable. Since there was nothing to mature or inapproaite for chilren this would make a great parent/child read-aloud for anyone over seven or eight. Tweens as young as nine or ten years old should enjoy reading this on their own.
