Another WONDERFUL book!

                 A week or so ago I finished the book "Penny from Heaven". It is another REALLY good book! This is a book about an Italian girl named Penny, who lives in the year 1953, and dreams about a wonderful summer filled with Dodger games, butter pecan ice cream, and swimming. But, her summer holds many unpleasant surprises. Her mother won't let her go to the pool because she fears she'll catch polio, her favorite uncle is living in a car, her nonny cries every time she sees her, and the two sides of her family won't talk to each other! And, to make matters worse, her mother is dating the milkman! Can Penny survive this summer?
