Everything I Was by Corinne Demas - ADVISABLE


Demas, Corinne Everything I Was, 209 p. Carolrhoda Lab Publishing. $17.95. Language- PG-13 (2 swears; 2 "F"), Mature Content- G; Violence- G.  Irene has always lived the high life and so have her parents.  After a sudden change to Irene's father's job, they family is forced to cut down on what matters most - their home and lifestyle.  The family moves in with Irene's grandfather for the summer.  Irene begins to realize this is where home is at, at the farm.  Irene is desperate to prove to her mother that maybe money isn't everything, but it's going to take a lot of work.  This was a really cute book.  It taught us that even bad times can turn out to be something good and to make the best of every situation.  I do recommend this book for anyone from 5th grade to above. MS- ADVISABLE.
