Waiting on Wednesday (6)

Another delicious edition of Waiting on Wednesday brought to you by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Sing Me to Sleep by Angela Morrison

THE TRANSFORMATION

Beth has always been “The Beast”—that’s what everyone at school calls her because of her awkward height, facial scars, and thick glasses. Beth’s only friend is geeky, golden-haired Scott. That is, until she’s selected to be her choir’s soprano soloist, and receives the makeover that will change her life forever.

THE LOVE AFFAIR

When Beth’s choir travels to Switzerland, she meets Derek: pale, brooding, totally dreamy. Derek’s untethered passion—for music, and for Beth—leaves her breathless. Because in Derek’s eyes? She’s not The Beast, she’s The Beauty.

THE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE

When Beth comes home, Scott, her best friend in the world, makes a confession that leaves her completely torn. Should she stand by sweet, steady Scott or follow the dangerous, intense new feelings she has for Derek?

THE HEARTBREAK

The closer Beth gets to Derek, the further away he seems. Then Beth discovers that Derek’s been hiding a dark secret from her …one that could shatter everything.

I love Holly Hobbie and am so glad that I was sent this book because Kylie loves to read and she got the honor of being my first guest blogger! Holly takes us through the adventure of Annabelle’s adventure written by none other than Fanny. The story is absolutely adorable and I love how Fanny writes different “chapters” to her story. It shows the creative mind of a child perfectly. We have now read the book four times and I am sure that we will be reading it more. The writing is very well adapted for younger children which is nice… not too much on one page (just enough to keep their interest before they are ready to turn the page!!). Definitely one you want to read again and again with the kiddies!!
