Summary: My review of Toning the Sweep
Comment: The story Toning The Sweep by Anglela Johnson is a powerful but sad story about a fourteen-year-old girl, named Emily, and her mother going to the desert to help her dying grandmother, Ola, pack up her home and move back to Cleveland with Emily. Ola was diagnosed with cancer. I thought that all the characters in the story very interesting, especially Ola. She was very lively and was a good blance when the mood is sad. I would definitely give this book three out of 3 stars.

Summary: Toning the Sweep Review
Comment: Angela Johnson's novel, Toning the Sweep, is a story about a family coming together after being apart for so long. Emily is a fourteen-year-old girl, who has just found out her grandmother, Ola, is dying of cancer. Emily gets a video camera and starts taping Ola and everyone around her. She discovers the real story of her grandfather's death, the reason mama is still upset about it, and how Ola is saying goodbye to the desert before she dies. This book gives a look into a family that makes sacrifices for each other and are there for each other. I gave this book four stars because it shows the real hearts of the people. If you read this book and do not see the real heart and soul of young, spirited Emily and her loving family, then you did not really read this book. * * * *

Summary: TONING THE SWEEP FELL FLAT ON ITS FACE!!!!!
Comment: If you have bought this book...consider yourself deceived. Toning the Sweep has voice, but no action, or plot. 14 year old Emmie and her mother Diane come to the desert to visit Ola. They discover that Ola has some sort of cancer. Emmie wants to tape Ola's life and friends on a camera. That's the weak and so dramatic(just kidding, actually it has no dramatic parts)plot.
