Penny from Heaven

This is a great coming of age book, specifically those pre teen girls becoming teens, this is more of a book for feminine people, but anyone can enjoy this book. Love the storyline too.

I was all set to give this book 3 stars but then it surprised me. I didn't realize how much I liked it until I was about halfway into it. Middle school girls who come from big Italian families will probably enjoy this book, but I would recommend it to others as well. Not sure I'd assign it as a class-wide book even though there are plot points boys would connect with as well. A nice summertime read.
