Download The Wonder of Charlie Anne Audiobook

" I'm kinda tired of plucky, independent heroines in historical novels showing that girls can be anything despite societal pressures to the contrary. But I admit I liked Charlie Anne. And I liked the complexities of a Depression era community dealing with socio-economic and racial divides, and the stresses that forced people to be tougher than they normally would. It's a feel-good story. "

" Usually the second book I read by the same author does not quite live up to what I expect. However this book was just as amazing at the other. Another book that tackles issues in such a beautiful, simple and magical way. LOVED IT! "

" Mirabel and Ivy both had me saying a lot of mad things in my mind. I hope Mirabel was just a cranky old maid, but I am certainly glad that expectations for girls in this country have changed! I did like how Charlie Anne changed, too, and began to see a few good things about Mirabel. "

" Very good book....lots of lessons to be learned....good for the Rappin' Readers' Book Club. "

" I think this would have been a four star book if I had read it rather than listened to it. It had all the makings of a book that I would love, but the narrator did not seem like a good match for Charlie Anne.

Recommended for 4th grade and up "
