Why I chose this book
Granny Torrelli Makes Soup by Sharon Creech is a wonderful book about granddaughter/grandmother relationships. Granny Torrelli shares sage advice about life while making soup with her granddaughter It is full of humor and wisdom and insightful writing of what it's like to be 12. Anyone could wish for a Granny Torrelli in his or her life. Here you'll find a granny that really listens to her granddaughter and responds with relevant stories telling of her own life while growing up in Italy. Misunderstandings, hurtful words and regrets were as true for Granny Torrelli as they are now for Rosie.
Synopsis
I quote from the back cover of the book: "Bailey, who is usually so nice, Bailey, my neighbor, my friend, my buddy, my pal for my whole life, knowing me better than anybody, that Bailey, that Bailey I am so mad at right now, that Bailey, I hate him today." While making soup Granny Torrelli shares her wisdom with Rosie, her granddaughter.
Description
Rosie and Bailey are having a first class disagreement; Rosie's feelings have been badly hurt. With the help of Granny Torrelli's stories and insight, Rosie grows in her understanding of herself and of her best friend, Bailey. This is a realistic chapter book that is sure to be a hit with girls of junior high age.
