Thanks everyone. I appreciate the author's take on this subject. It's definitely something that should be addressed more.

What an interesting premise for a...middle-grade book? From the cover, I was expecting a sort of classic, old-fashioned story :). I agree with you on the editing, considering the target audience. Thanks for another great review!

like that people take on the challenge of writing these kinds of books. It can be hard to write something that educates, draws a reader in, and entertains. It sounds like the author managed this well. It really is such a shame about the editing errors. I sure hope the author takes the time to fix them. Great review.

A great teaching tool since bullying is happening way too often. Perhaps maybe having the reader read and discuss it with someone after each chapter would be the best idea? That way differentiating between fact and fiction could be done better.

I read the review of the book Anna and the Snowglobe by Vicki Jones. This is the story of a girl Anna and David. David is well-wisher of Anna. Anna suffers from the hardships created by her relatives after the death of her parents. Snow globe is related to an angel in snow fall. Thanks for the review Lauren Haupt.

This is a fantastic story of a orphan young girl named Anna, Story of thirteen years old girl,how she faced after loosing parents difficulty in her playing age, how she faced at day to day activities at Uncle's home ,at school and also with friend circle .Also how Anna's friend David helped her to overcome her difficulty ,
This is a appreciating story of a orphan girl,How a orphan girl growing up as a orphan,how family is important in developing a young child,how a friend circle is important in development of young children , Author nicely created this Anna to show this important social aspects,Really all of us should read this special books ,
Lastly I want to say Anna's story is a mirror of developing child,which reflect how family affection and friend circle plays a important role in development of young children s mind. Congrats to the Creator of Anna,Mr,Vicki,
