Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-01 00:00:00 Greg Finney I have never been away from my mom for more than two weeks, and I could not imagine what it would feel like to be away from my mother for longer than that. Novelist Julie Schumacher made me feel that pain when I read her amazing book Grass Angel. From busting garage windows and hitting kids in the head with rocks, Frances, the main character, had the worst summer ever. Grass Angel is a really attention grabbing book, it is quite amazing. Frances Cressen was planning to have a marvelous summer. She was going to camp with her best friend Agnes, spend every afternoon at Agnes’ house, and getting ice cream after every swim. Frances’ mom, Anna, had very different plans for their summer. She wanted to go to Oregon to a religious camp, they would stay the whole summer. Frances fought a lot with her mom about staying in their hometown Whitman for the summer. Her mom did listen, for the most part. Anna took Frances to her Aunt Blue’s house while Anna and her son Everett went to Mountain Ash in Oregon. They planned to stay for the whole summer, but did that go as planned? Fast forward to the end, Everett went missing, did they ever find him? Frances busted out garage windows and Aunt Blue’s house now looked like a circus tent. Of course I loved this book, it had so many uprising situations. The part that made it the best is when Frances hit a kid named Wyatt in the face with a rock and she got suspended from camp. Did Wyatt deserve it? Yes he did, what did he do though? This book is very honest, what I mean, is that Julie Schumacher put a lot of real feelings and situations that could happen in this book. In the end, you find out the true meaning of grass angels, what it means figuratively, not just literally. Grass Angel has a lot of things to offer. You develop a new feeling towards your family because Julie Schumacher gives you the real insight of losing you immediate family for a while. Wisdom arises inside you when you finish this book because she teaches you that instead of answering all the questions, how about you ask them for once. Grass Angels is definitely a book for all ages. It is fiction and was published in 2004. One thing I have learned from this book, is never take your family for granted, because one day they could be gone -- whether it be for a whole summer, or a lifetime. I have also learned, never do something stupid just because you’re mad at someone. Sometimes it does cause a lifetime of damage, physically and mentally. -- Hannah D.
