Thinking about Characters

I am reading a book called "Home to Big Stone Gap" by Adriana Trigiani. It is about a woman who has spent her whole life worrying about things she can't control. She is finally realizing that she can't worry about everything. She has to just enjoy life and the things that happen. It's a great lesson for me, too!

What are you reading and who wrote it? What are the characters in your books like? Do they learn any lessons along the way?

  5. Bingo, the best dog in the world by Catherine Siracusa.
    This book is about believing in yourself. Sam and Stuart didn't believe in their Dog Bingo because he was sleepy but he actually won the Dog Show. So remember always believe in yourself!
