In my point of view,
This book is basically a journal that Katie Roberts Has.
In this book she expresses how she feels about
herself and the world around her.
In this story Katie's Dad Dies in a war.
So at this situation Katie's mother
gets married to a man called, Sam Gold.
He lives in Texas.
Katie and her mother have to move to Texas to.
Enjoy this book as you read the adventure Katie has in Texas.

Dramatic changes are in store for New York native Katie Roberts (introduced in Love You, Soldier) when her war-widow mother marries Sam Gold in 1947. Before Katie and her mom move to Sam's ranch in Texas, Katie's elderly neighbor gives her a leather notebook; Hest's novel and Lamut's pictures are relayed as Katie's entries, doodles and pasted-in snapshots. An unusually exuberant narrator, Katie confides her anxieties about entering a new school (``I can see myself now, ALL ALONE, me and my egg sandwich...''); her triumphs (she is editor of the class paper); her uneasiness at her mother's pregnancy (``I wanted to give her a big hug and ask her to read me a story the way she used to, but another part of me wanted to yell WHAT WOULD DADDY SAY?''); and her concerns about Sam's desire to adopt her. Keenly-and humorously-aware of the injustices that have been flung upon her, this fresh character will win readers as she surmounts hurdle after hurdle. Ages 8-11.

This book is about a fountain that is leaking and they want to fix it. I loved this book. It is really fun because it is a mixture of letters, phone messages, newspaper articles and stuff like that. You don't just read the book like a regular novel, you have to go from page to page putting the story together for yourself. The writer and illustrator really put things in order so you can figure out the mystery that's going on with the fountain. It's really fun to figure out the mystery and to see the ideas the school kids suggested for the fountain. I'd like one with hot chocolate!!! --- I live in Illinois and we could use that in the winter! READ THIS BOOK!
