Rosemary+Meets+Rosemarie

__ Rosemary Meets Rosemarie __ By Barbara Robertson Nominated by Lindsay

Rosemary Rita has always loved postcards, especially when her grandmother sends them to her. On Rosemary Rita’s tenth birthday she receives 10 packages; each of them are from her grandmother. In each of t he 10 packages there is 1 postcard. When Rosemary Rita opens the first package she finds lots of old clothes from her great grand-mother’s attic. When Rosemary Rita reads the first postcard it says strictly in her grandmothers cursive/print handwriting not to open the tenth box until they are together. When Rosemary Rita ignores the directions and opens the tenth box and finds an old hourglass, will she ever get out of the year 1870? 

My first reason why I chose to nominate this book is that it is a quick read. I personally like quick reads because sometimes in really long books you get bored and don’t want to read it anymore. The second reason I nominated this book is that I knew it would surprise people. It would surprise them because the genre of this book is historical fiction and some kids don’t like that type of book. When you read this book you just think of it as fiction, not historical fiction. I know that this book is historical fiction because Rosemary Rita learns about life in Berlin in the year 1870. I really liked this book and I hope you will too.
