Absolutely Truly

Heather Vogel Frederick is the author  of the very popular middle-school book series, The Mother-Daughter Book Club.  Although that series is a bit too mature for a K-5 library, I was hoping this one was not.  I was pleased that this was an innocent, lovely read.  Truly has moved to a small town in NH with her large family.  Her father is an Afghanistan War veteran who has lost his arm and inherited his family's bookstore.  The story is a mystery in which Truly and her new friends uncover an old love story, but it is also the story of a small town and its workings, and a brave veteran who learns to embrace life again.
