The One and Only Maryellen
It’s not Christmas without Grandma and Grandpa.The One and only Maryellen by Valire Tripp is a must read.This book is based on August-December of 1954.In this story a nine year girl named Maryellen has lots of ups and downs in her Florida life. One of the many is christmas. Since she lives in florida Maryellen does not get a tv christmas,so she takes a train all by herself to see her grandma and grandpa. But when she gets there on christmas eve she feels home sick. Her grandparents start to drive her to florida that night.Will they make it home in time for christmas.This is a favorite of mine.I recommend this for ages 8 and up.
