Speed and self-confidence, that’s Astrid’s motto. Nicknamed “the little thunderbolt,” she loves to spend her days racing down the hillside on her sled, singing loudly as she goes, and visiting Gunnvald, her grumpy, septuagenarian best friend and godfather, who makes hot chocolate from real chocolate bars. She just wishes there were other children to share her hair-raising adventures with. But Astrid’s world is about to be turned upside down by two startling arrivals to the village of Glimmerdal: first a new family, then a mysterious, towering woman who everyone seems to know.

Story
All Amara wants for her birthday is to visit her father’s family in New York City - Harlem, to be exact. She can’t wait to finally meet her Grandpa Earl and cousins in person and to stay in the brownstone where her father grew up. Maybe this will help her understand her family - and herself - in new way. But New York City is not exactly what Amara thought it would be. It’s crowded, with confusing subways and suffocating sidewalks, and her father is too busy with work to spend time with her and too angry to spend time with Grandpa Earl.

Book Lover's Dream
Anna James has put into words the feelings and the heart of reading books. I bought this book for my 9 year old sister, but I finished it first after staying up past midnight to find out the ending! This is a daring adventure into the soul of literature and why reading and stories are so important. If only book wandering was real!

Absolutely Amazing Must Read!!!!!!!!
I love this book its one of my new favorites. I think the characters are entertaining and exciting and i really relate to Tully. I especially love how they described what is feels like to love books. They put my feelings to words and I loved hearing them. The narrator was great I always love a good English actor, such a charming accent. I've already downloaded the sequel.

Drawn Out Terrible Story
This book was long, boring and painful to read. Avoid at all costs. The plot was slow, obvious, and plodding. I can't imagine why it was chosen as an Oregon Battle of the Books title. My children and I hated every second of it.
