About the book from Amazon:
Just Sayin’ tells the story of an almost-blended family that almost falls apart before it even begins. 11 year-old Cassie Callahan is staying with her grandmother while her mom, Jennifer, recovers from a difficult breakup from her fiancé, Trent. Cassie, along with Trent’s kids, Nick and Julie, are trying to figure out why their parents’ relationship ended so abruptly and searching for a way to bring them back together. Meanwhile, the kids get caught up in a game show that encourages the “art” of insults, and learn along the way that our words have much more power than they think.
In a way that only Dandi can accomplish, this story weaves together, in a contemporary way, an old-time game show, letter writing, outstanding vocabulary, and reminders from God’s word that taming our tongue is both difficult and important!
My thoughts:
Super fast read from a well-known author, perfect for that tween in your life. Well written and full of adventure, the fun part of this book is that it's written in "letter" style, you know, snail mail. (Which could be a new concept to some techy kids) The downfall? Some of the handwriting is difficult to read.
Today's blast from the past super fast review gets a 4 star rating from me!
