Customer Reviews

Flea Circus Summer

My wife read this book to 'the kids' on a long trip - the kids fell asleep and I would not let her stop reading. We laughed and laughed as she read this excellent peice of work. I am ordering another copy to send to my mother - great book!

Ms. Ware is a talented and energetic writer who connects with readers of all ages. Her story-telling abilities are wonderful and her attention to detail is delightful.

Fantastically Funny and Refreshing!

As a Children's Librarian and an avid reader, I love this book! Cheryl Ware has created a refreshingly funny character in Venola Mae and the letter format adds a nice dimension. This book would be a great gift for any young girl aged 9-12.

Wonderful book about a girl in my hometown.

This book is great reading for children 6-10 years old. It's really funny. I also love the fact that it mentions Belington, West Virginia...my hometown.
