Little Blog on the Prairie by Cathleen Davitt Bell
Rating:5 stars
This was a GREAT book! It's about a girl named Genevieve Welsh, who's mother decides to take her out of her normal (now phone filled) life, and cart her whole family out to a camp where everyone lives like it's 1890. However, Genevieve sneaks her new phone out to the camp and secretly texts her friends the entire summer and they create a website based on her texts. But when her phone dies, she uncovers a secret that know one is supposed to know about ( except for moms addicted to Diet Coke)
Like I said, GREAT book. It's sarcastic, funny, and sounds exactly like a girl who is stuck in a puffy dress with only an annoying brother, a girl as mean as Nellie Olsen, and a cell phone to keep her company.I couldn’t put it down, and finished in a matter of 2 days. I also liked the touch of romance.
And now a bit of the book to get you interested. Before I knew it, Betsy had me out of my jean shorts, my Chucks, and the Yosemite T-shirt I'd bought at Urban Outfiters, and into more clothes than I would normally wear in a week. There was a kind of tank top thing she called a bib;a petticoat, which is a kind of skirt you you wear underneath your other skirt;pantaloons, which are pants you wear instead of underwear-they open in the back so you don't have to pull them down when going to the bathroom; and wool stockings, which are very long socks that button onto straps hanging from the bib. Over everything, you wear a long wool dress that weighs as much as ten algebra textbooks.
Hope to write another post again soon. 'Til then, ta-ta!
