The Sweetheart of Prosper County Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Just a nice quiet YA book- not a lot of drama, yet definite teen appeal. "

" This is one book that you can't judge by it's cover. I thought it would be silly but it ended up being a great book. "

" A sweet middle grade read. "

" I enjoyed this novel, and it will be a good read for the kids in the ag division in my school. From the No-Jesus Parade to the raising of a rooster, the book gives the reader a taste of life in Texas. The novel is fun and light, and I enjoyed reading it out in the sun. "

" Sweet story about Austin Gray who wants to be on a float in the annual holiday parade, not just standing on the curb. She decides the quickest way to her dream is by joining the Future Farmers of America and raising an animal. During her journey she learns things about herself, her momma, her dead father and friendship. "

" Just plain great. I really liked all of the characters, and the setting was so well done. I did think, however, that Dean Ottmer needed more than just one punch in the face. :) "

" This gets a 3.5 from me. Jill Alexander has a Joan Bauer-esque style that I really enjoyed--quirky female protagonist facing some tough challenges and interesting supporting characters. "

" Fun, kinda quirky good read. Liked the characters. Loved the Texas feel to it. "

" Loved reading this--captured high school in a small town to a "t". "

" This is a sweet story that will have broad girl appeal. "

" I met the author's husband at the Beijing airport and we started talking books. He gave me a signed copy of the book---thank you mr. Alexander! Really cute young YA book. As a mother of four daughters I highly recommend this to all middle school girls. "

" This book reminds me of East Texas and the FFA. The main character learns a lot about herself and what happened to her father. She figures out why her mother is so overprotective. A very interesting book. Love her chicken Charles Dickens. "

" I absolutely loved this book. As an Ag student at my high school and a member of the FFA, I felt that I could really connect with this story. This read is a must for anyone who finds comfort in wearing plaid shirts and jeans and/or has every wanted to stand out. "

" A fast YA read that continued my day of Chicken-themed media (I watched the Natural History of the Chicken shortly before I picked up this book). It's a sweet story of a young lady coming into her own. "

" This was one of my favorites for this year's list! I LOVED IT! "

" I really enjoyed this uplifting and endearing book by local author Jill Alexander. "

" I really liked this quirky story of one girl gaining confidence in herself. It was reminiscent of "Dairy Queen" by Catherine Murdock that I also loved. "

" Cute little book, a fast read. "

" Loved this book about a teenage girl trying to find freedom from over-protective mother. She finds a new friend in southern soul her once was connected with her deceased father. "

" This was a good book but the first couple of chapters are kind of boring. Once you get farther into the book it gets a lot better. I also didn't really like any of the characters. "

" I liked it! Short but sweet. "

" It was okay. I liked the brief humor and LOVED Louis, but I think it could've used a bit more romance. (I mean WHAT happens with her and Josh?????) "

" Good contrast of Creole vs Hispanic culture. That reinforces the main character's need to be true to herself & her heritage. "

" Being a country girl from rural Mississippi who grew up in 4H, this book hit home for me. It's nice to see a book depicting FFA kids in a good light instead of making fun of them and calling them hicks. I can't wait to read more from Miss Alexander. :) "

" I Loved this book...I could hardley put it down without wanting to continue reading it. "

" Good, but a little too small town girl for me! "

" "Pray the problem". I didn't find Austin to be as quirky as she thought she was...overall, it was enjoyable and I was glad to spend time with these characters. "
