Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-13 00:00:00 Mike Mayers I loved Norma Fox Mazer when I was younger. The other day I was in the mood for a young adult book, so I bought this one, a book I had never read before. (I was looking for Silver though, my favorite Norma Fox Mazer book that I read probably 30 times when I was a kid, but now I can't find it! Where is it???) It was good. I love how the focus isn't on events happening bam, bam, bam all in a neat row and you know, Hey, it's Saturday and Toni's going bowling, then hey, the very next day, this and this happens as a result, blahblah, then the next day this happens. The focus is on Toni growing up, her interactions one moment with her sister, then she'll write a letter to her best friend, then maybe she goes bowling, then ah ha!, she has to deal with her parents b/c her conversation with her sister revealed something shocking about her parents last week. The main character was dealing with a lot but the author balanced it all well, is what I guess I'm trying to say. Norma Fox Mazer. Timeless.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-10-01 00:00:00 John Payne Fifteen year old Toni Chessmore has it all, a family that loves her, a best friend who lives right next door, but nothing in life is perfect right? Her best friend has to go to California for summer due to some sad circumstances, Toni falls for the boy that her best friend was crushing on, and finds out a family secret that has been buried for years. This book was very short, in fact it's under 200 pages. I feel like maybe if I read this book when I was younger like 12-13 I probably would have enjoyed it more, but because of the fact that i've read so many more complex novels before this one, it feel short for me. Norma Fox Mazer was a favorite author of mine growing up and After The Rain, is one of those books that stick out in my mind that made me fall in love with reading from the beginning, and It won a number of awards to boot. I think the younger audience would really enjoy this book, it's a light-hearted, summer read, that deals with issues that probably anyone could be able to relate too or have been through similar situations when they were younger. Norma Fox Mazer will continue to be an author I check out but this book was a little too basic and lacked complexity that i'm used too.
