My thoughts-
I thoroughly enjoyed both of these books. I know that these books are for younger girls, but I really get a kick out of reading about Andi. She reminds me a little bit of Mandie, from the book series by Lois Gladys Leppard. They both have spirit and are girls that every girl should strive to be.
I really liked the definitions at the beginning of the book. I was glad that they were at the beginning of the book, so that the readers will know the words before they read them. They were also words that some children may not know. I also like the table of contents. It’s so helpful when books have them, because if you want to go back to check something it’s easy to do. Other than the story, the other good part in these books is the small section containing historical information at the end of the books. I liked the information about rodeo history and that about Black Bart, a gentleman outlaw. I wish she had included a little bit of information about the troubles between the ranchers and sheepherders, since it was a subject in Andi Lassos Trouble.
These books are excellent for young girls. I’m sure that they will become classics for this generation and those to come.
