BELL PRATER'S BOY by Ruth White

I loved this book. The humor and voice caught me from the very beginning. How could a reader not fall in love with Woodrow? In 1997, Belle Prater's Boy received a Newbery Honor, so I wasn't the only one to fall in love with this endearing character.

When I read this book, I wished I had a highlighter because there were so many sentences and phrases that set the scenery and time frame with just a few gold nuggets of vocabulary. This is how I want to write.
