Summary: A book I won't forget
Comment: I often pick up and read my 9 year old daughter's books, and am rarely moved by what I read. This book however will stay with me always. The first chapter had me hooked, with a surprisingly textured cast of warm, unusual characters. Extremely engaging, even within the first few lines. The family danced off the pages, and their struggles rang true. No gloss, just real stuff. Lucky young readers who are encouraged to befriend these characters.

Summary: Baby's Review
Comment: The book Baby is another great book by Patricia MacLachlan. We like the setting a lot. It takes place on an island in the middle of nowhere so they don't have easy access to electricity, food, and fresh water. There was a note with a baby on the doorstep saying that she is good and that they will be back for her someday. Our favorite part was when Sophie got her red boots and wouldn't take them off. As the family starts loving her, they picture it hard to give little Sophie away. We would give this book four stars. It's definitely worth reading.

Summary: great for teens, adults, and secondary teachers...
Comment: This book came highly reccomended to me from middle school teachers from across the country at a recent conference. I am a critical reader that is not easily impressed. The book had me in tears.
On the surface, it is the story of Larkin and her family who live on an island frequented by vacationers in the summer and the baby, Sophie, who is left on their doorstep. Beneath this story, lies truths about the power of words and their ability to help us to heal from even the most horrific tragedy.
As Sophie, a darling one-year-old, learns to speak, sing, and dance, the family learns to speak about the tragedy that shattered their lives. I read the first two chapters to my class of inner-city seventh-graders and had them clamoring to read the rest on their own. I read it to my seven-year-old son and he relished every moment.
A perfect book....also beautifully written...like poetry...
