It was absolutely lovely to read this amazing book in the city where the action occurs - Rio de Janeiro. There is so much sensibility, pain and emotion in this book, all conveyed to the reader in such a subtle & enjoyable way. Such a complex and good book, in spite of being easy to read! I just couldn‘t put it down and finished it by the pool, while enjoying a Caipirinha, under the soft tropical rain.

I have @TheAromaofBooks to thank for this one—I saw your recent post and it sounded delightful. So I tracked the book down online, and it was indeed delightful. 😊 I love these older, almost-classic children‘s books as a sweet escape. All the childhood best-friend hijinks rang true for me, with the book-writing and the dolls and the imagination!

@TheAromaofBooks Twinsies!

Family Sabbatical was my absolute favorite Brink though. I'm so happy it got reprinted!

I LOVE this book. I bought it on vacation in 1999 and have read it so many times since then. Set in a small Idaho down in the early 1900s, Chrys and Cordy are best friends.

This book takes you into the life of C. S. Lewis, the child, the scholar, the husband, the writer. As a boy he would sit for hours writing stories where animals came to life and lived and spoke just like human beings….

This book has never been out of print in Brazil since it was first published in 1968! Based on the author‘s childhood in Rio de Janeiro, Zeze‘s life is harsh, and the only thing he lives for is school, a street musician friend and his orange tree. Poignant and bittersweet.

You know what‘s more horrifying than a splatterpunk novel? The inaccurate history our young people are learning in school! Obviously, I couldn‘t think of a better, more spooky title for this prompt! 🤓🤗
