2013 book 158

Sharon Creech's The Boy on the Porch
Sweet and heartwarming book by Creech, whose Love That Dog makes me cry every time. This one is about a rural couple who find a mute boy on their porch, and stuff happens. I actually wished this was written for a slightly older audience--there's not much to sustain adult interest--but it was, like I said, sweet. Should be a hit with kids--recommended for 8 and up, but slightly younger kids could probably go for it too. B+.
