A letter to Mrs. Roosevelt

Do you think there is a book that can care boredom? Well there is, it is called a letter to Mrs. Roosevelt. An interesting quote I found, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." This book is really interesting, it explains very well in detail. The summary is about and eleven year old girl, Margo Bandini, who lives in Johnston, PA. She has a mom, dad, brother and a best friend named Rosa. The time it's going on is the great depression, causing the families loss of money. In school Margo's whole class has to write a letter to someone that inspires them. Margo picks Eleanor Roosevelt. A sheriff sign soon goes up and they must leave there house. Now Margo has to help papa by Eleanor's advice and her own. The genre is realistic fiction.

This book was tops because it was unbelievingable fun to read. The creativity of turning a real event into fiction was very well done. I do recommend this book because anyone would like it. It's exciting, makes you like reading and at the same time you are not bored. This book is probably for a 12 year old girl who doesn't like to read and wants some fun, but the reading level is average. It was a page turner because a lot of things went on in the story, so you didn't want to stop and not find out what happened next. This story was definitely not hard to concentrate because it relates so much to real life. I connected to Margo because we both are nice and will do anything to help others. I like the genre because of the adventure. The style of writing was interesting because, example: a lot of quotes, life wise thinking and characters came to life. What surprised me was when a sheriff sign went up on the house and Charlie found out it was his fault because he broke his leg and had to have surgery for a lot of money. Not every chapter ended with a cliff hanger, but most did. Example: thank you Miss Dobson, but won't my letter need more stamps? I can still picture Miss Dobson smile. She never answered me)this book was not boring because of the mystery. No my mind didn't wander when reading because it's well standard. The plot was believable because it didn't sound fake only real. I think anyone would enjoy this.

Summary of A Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt

Eleven-year-old Margo Bandini has never been afraid of anything. Her life in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, with Mama and Papa and her little brother, Charlie, has always felt secure. But it's 1933, and the Great Depression is changing things for families all across America.

One day the impossible happens: Papa cannot make the payments for their house, and the Sheriff Sale sign goes up on their door. They have two weeks to pay the bank, or leave their home forever. Now Margo is afraid--but she's also determined to find a way to help Papa save their home.
