#45 The Truth of Me by
Patricia MacLachlan
4 Cheers!
I love discovering
beautiful books. This is one of them.
Patricia MacLachlan
has been writing books for decades, and her newest stories are as fresh as
ever, brimming with depth and warm humor. Each chapter rolls out with clipped,
meaning-filled sentences, brief and child-like. The Truth of Me was delightful and swept me away, which is what I
am always searching for in a story!
It is also at a comfortable reading level
for 3rd graders to enjoy on their own. The story follows Robbie and
his dog as they spend the summer with Grandma Maddy, who has some secrets to
share.
I am putting this
book on my READ ALOUD shelf :)

I love Patricia MacLachlan! I love that I never know what to expect from her books other than a really powerful read. She is so amazingly gifted! Thanks for sharing this with us at Booknificent Thursday!
