Penny from Heaven by Jennifer L. Holm
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is probably more like 3.5 stars. It’s a young adult, Newberry book, so it’s perhaps geared more for that audience in style, but I still found it interesting. I like books with quirky characters, and that’s what this has. It’s also a great story of discrimination in our own country towards Italian-Americans. We often don’t think of discrimination against this group, so it was enlightening. I think adults who like young adult books will enjoy it, and young adults (in my opinion) should add it to their “should read” lists.
