I think this book was very good. It proves that no matter how different people are, they can still be great friends. The mining accident was scary, and I could not put the book down until I found out what happened. Some deaths are mentioned. I think that this book was very good.
a book that gives kids hope in the characters problems
this book is all about a exchange progam that two schools are doing, Thunder Creek, and Lexiton all girls school. Ivy June and Catherine Combs go on a out of this world trouble Catherines mom is sick and Ivy Junes grandpa works in the mines. Tragedy happens on the same day for Ivy June and Catherine Combs. Both of the girls get a taste of the others life and the differences in their lives that they lived.
I loved this story! 'Faith, Hope, and Ivy June' tells a heart-warming story about two girls, Ivy June and Catherine. These two girls lead different lives, and from each girl you learn about there life. The girls have a couple of fights, but they have their fights just like regular people. At one point in the story Catherine's mom goes to the hospitable, WHILE Catherine is at Ivy June's very remote town. At the same time Ivy June is very scared for her grandpa, Papaw, who works in a mine, and was in it while the mine flooded! I think this is a good book for kids aged ten and up, as there are some parts that nine year olds most likely won't understand and won't make sense to them, and other parts that they won't enjoy, and will seem unreasonably silly to them.
