![]() ![]() ![]() I loved Grandma with her fearsome cane and intriguing slips of paper with the secret acronyms for Ellis and his father to puzzle out. ![]() His introduction to Wishbone was a great plotline, and I never expected where this eventually led, but it was an extremely satisfying surprise. Didn't we all, and wouldn't we still? You can feel his disappointment and restlessness when things don't go as planned.I love how he was able to adapt and "get it together" (as his grandmother would say), wanting to make his father's dream come true but still being a little grumpy about the whole thing. His main character, Ellis Johnson, is looking forward to a great summer and turning 12, spending time with his best friend, Alex, listening to their favorite music, and just being kids. In Cookies and Milk, Shawn Amos relates the feel of the middle school years during the mid-1970s perfectly. A unique story of growing up in the mid-70s that is still relatable today - to both the young and the young at heart. ![]()
