I read a lot of children's books. My favorites are books for kids who are from 8 to 12, but I also read young adult books. I even occasionally read adult books.

Review: Minnie McClary Speaks Her Mind
Minnie McClary Speaks Her Mind by Valerie Hobbs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am a bit surprised that this book hasn't hit my radar sooner than this and that it wasn't available in my library system. I was able to order it through interlibrary loan, though.
I really enjoyed the whole focus of the book - the idea of asking good questions about life and standing up for what is right. I suppose that some people might be a bit uncomfortable about the issues that it brings up, but they are current and relevant. I like the fact that the main character, Minnie, is going through a very uncertain phase of her life and I think her dilemmas are craftily elucidated. The book isn't preachy or didactic; it seemed honest and supportive. I enjoyed it.
