I just finished a book that I just LOVED! “The Book Of Bright Ideas” by Sandra Kring. This book ranks up there with some of my all time favorites like “Memoirs of a Geisha” and “The Red Tent”. Although this book is not as deep as “Geisha” and “Red Tent” it certainly tugs at your heart. The characters are sweet and delicious! I read this book so slowly just so that I could savor the characters. I felt like they were my friends and I have to say that I’m feeling a little “down” today because my friends are gone. The story is told from a nine year old girls perspective and shows her relationship with her first “best friend”. Sandra Kring tells this story in such a beautiful and compelling way that you almost feel like you are the character. I felt every pain and heartache that the main character “Button” felt. I’m still feeling her sadness and I’m finished with the book :). If your looking for a great book to read this would be the one. It’s an easy way to be nine years old again. I highly recommend this book!
