Beverly Cleary is one of my very favorite writers. Shelly feels as if she's living in a fantasy line she spit in the winter in California where flowers are blooming in November oranges are growing on trees and the sun shines almost every day now the good looking star oh the basketball team is smiling at her and all the other girls are Green with envy. Shelly feels like a luckiest girl in the world as if she's being touched by magic. now she's about to discover the magic of falling in love and a whole lot more.
