RJF ~ The Facts and Fictions of Minna Pratt


For our next Recommend June Fest post, I have an adorable book by Patricia MacLachlan. I have always liked how she uses words, and this book has music in it, so that makes it even better.

The Facts and Fictions of Minna Pratt


About the book:

Minna wishes for many things. She wishes she understood the quote taped above her mother's typewriter: "Fact and fiction are different truths," She wishes her mother would stop writing long enough to really listen to her. She wishes her house were peaceful and orderly like her friend Lucas's. Most of all, she wishes she could find a vibrato on her cello and play Mozart the way he deserves to be played.Minna soon discovers that some things can't be found-they just have to "happen," And as she waits for her vibrato to happen, Minna begins to understand some facts and fictions about herself.

  2. Same as Faith said, I haven't read The Facts and Fictions of Minna Pratt; but 'Sarah, Plain and Tall' is a favourite of mine! :D

    This book sounds really interesting though, I'll have to look it up! (which, I realize, is what I've been saying for almost all the books you've reviewed :P)
