NEW RELEASE........CHILDREN'S BOOK BY MICHELLE WEIDENBENNERHi, I’m Éclair and I’m seven. My sister Meggie is two. When mom got sick we had to go live with Stella, my dad’s mom, the one with maroon colored hair. I begged Dad not to make us stay with her because she beat her horse and was going to eat her rooster, but he didn’t believe me. Even after I pretended I was going to barf, he left us with Stella.
So there we were, Meggie and me, on a strange pink farm with a skinny horse, a mean rooster, and Stinky Stella who had a living room filled with dead deer heads.
What would she do to us?
Would we end up on her wall too?

“Do you want to name her?” Stella said.
I squeezed my eyes to think again. “Star. She looks like a movie star.”
“I love it.” Stella reached up to give me a high-five. “Star, it is.”
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book and recommend it for anyone with children. It is a good story about a girl that is going through a rough patch. She is confused and upset. Her whole life has been turned upside down and she is worried about a lot of things.
When she and her little sister are sent to stay with a grandmother they don't really know, she is afraid and doesn't want to stay. She thinks her grandmother is mean and wants to go back home. Soon she finds out things aren't always as bad as they seem.
This book teaches a good lesson to children about handling big changes in their lives, as well as not always assuming the worse of someone.
