Book Review: The Last Carolina Summer by Karen White

Image
The Last Carolina Summer by Karen White is the story about Phoebe Manigault returning home to Mt. Pleasant, a suburb of Charleston, South Carolina, to help her sister with their ailing mother. When past memories resurface, Phoebe is thrown back into some childhood turmoil. I requested an Advanced Readers Copy ARC of The Last Carolina Summer from NetGalley, and I was ecstatic when the provided me with a copy for free in exchange for my honest review. So, a big thank you goes out to them! When I began reading this story, I just happened to be vacationing in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. I loved hearing about the different places, including streets and a bridge called the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, which I had to cross to get into Mt. Pleasant as well as Isle of Palms.

Book Review: I Don't Want To Move by Carolyn Watkins

Book Review I Don't Want To Move by Carolyn Watkins

I Don't Want To Move by Carolyn Watkins is a children's picture book about the pitfalls of moving, going to a new school, and making new friends.  It's a great book for children between the ages of three and six.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of I Don't Want To Move by Carolyn Watkins.  I loved the cover art of this picture book and was excited to be approved to read and review this book in exchange for my honest review.

Although this book does a fairly good job at explaining the moving process on a child friendly level, I felt like it made it seem a little too easy.  I also found some of the transitions to be a bit choppy.

All in all, I think this is a great book for parents to buy for their young children when they are going to move.  It opens the door for the parents to have a dialogue with their children about moving and what to expect.  I gave I Don't Want To Move by Carolyn Watkins four out of five stars.
