verity83Book 56: Skating Shoes, Noel Streatfeild. 245pp
This was a delightful, refreshing little book. Easy to follow, with characters both realistic and interesting. I enjoy stories of children who are learning to face life by doing rather than living vicariously through, say, television or video games. I especially liked the enterprising nature of the main character's older brother and how all the children (okay, maybe not Edward) had long-term plans they were working out to help get the family's finances straightened out. Teamwork. Very pleasant.
