I read the Booky Trilogy and I was so impressed by it, that I E-mailed Sullivan Entertainment (Anne of Green Gables, Road to Avonlea) asking if they would make a television series about the book. There are so many story possibilities for a TV show that the Booky character could provide. It is even better that the story is based on the writer's real life.

As a lifelong resident of Toronto I enjoyed reading about life in Toronto during the 1930's. I loved the many historical clips interspersed throughout the book, like the shoes sold in the Eaton's catalogue. The book also shows readers that you don't have to have alot of money to have fun. I look forward to more books that continue Booky's story.

I really enjoyed your book Bernice. I read all the booky books about 5 times. I felt so bad when I heard that the turn down from L.M Montgomery had really happened. When I was told you had moved to scarborough I was dissapointed. Because I wanted to meet you so very badly. The book I enjoyed most was "That Scatterbrain Booky" I enjoyed that one because it told me very much about the "1930's" My grandma grew up during the depresion so she explained to me what a "Hoop and Stick" was. They sound very fun and difficult also.

Fun-loving, adorable Booky is growing up. She is being swept off her feet by handsome suitors and having a ball at the same time. Booky is achieving some of her dreams and learning to accept her failures. Then...the world war threatens her now stable life and reality as she knows it

(written by Uncle John at the direction of Hannah) This is an inspiring book about a 12 year old girl's struggle with life after her mother dies. Yes, this book is sad but I found to to be fun to read and happy as well.

After her Mother's death, the key character, Amy, finds herself living with an alcoholic father, an old old grandma, her two brothers who are about her age. Absent from this home was Jenny, a 5 (?) year old who was sent to live with her aunt after their Mother died. While on her Mother's deathbed, Amy promises to take care of her sister and 2 brothers.

The story is realistic description of how a young girl can overcome the pressure and tragedy of her life. It is also about a young girl's relationship with a less than perfect Father. As a 10 year old I loved this book and recommend highly. It is often sad, but the good parts make up for this.

The description above this entry says it all. This book was very good although it was a bit sad. My heart went out for Amy and her struggle through a hard time. Please e-mail me!

It's a good ending but Starr wasn't in the book often.It had every thing the Margaret books have, it just wasn't VERY satisfying.
