Buttermilk Hill Ruth White Farrar, Straus, and Giroux © 2006 |
Buttermilk Hill was a fun and exciting book that is sure to interested
readers. The main character, Piper Berry, faces many challenges through out
the book. First her parents get divorced and her father marries a woman who
has two boys that her father is devoted to. She feels like she has no home.
Her cousin Lindy if pretty much her only friend, until she gets to know
Bucky. His story is so confusing and complex that Piper feels completely
lost. Piper also finds her love for poetry and other people find that she
has a passion and talent for it. Buttermilk Hill is sure to give readers a
wonderful experience.
This book was very well-written and it was very believable. The story
line seemed real and the characters were comparable to real people. Each
character had their own story that really brought depth to this novel. I
thought it was a great book that middle school students would enjoy because
they would be able to relate to it the most.
