didn't really care for it
We had read Love You, Daddy (originally Love You, Soldier), about Katie Roberts, a Jewish girl of New York City whose father is killed during World War II and found that it was excellent. Unfortunately, all the charm and poignancy of the first book are completely lost in this sequel, which tells Katie's feelings about her father's death, her mother's remarriage to Sam Gold, and the family's move from New York City to a ranch in Texas through a series of journal entries and letters to a pen pal. I do recognize that Katie has been through a lot of grief and trauma that I have never experienced and therefore cannot fully understand, but early in the book she comes across as a completely self-centered, hateful, spoiled brat.

In the end, Katie finally does come around, but I would like to think that my parents raised me in such a way that if I were in such circumstances I would have behaved better, and I hope that I am raising my children so that if they ever face such a situation they would have a better attitude. There are a few euphemisms and some references to Katie's developing and looking "bumpy and strange." Her mama offers to start buying her lady's underwear, but she refuses and decides to sleep on her stomach to stop all this "development." This is probably not a good book for boys to read. -

rea life like story you can sink your teeth into!!!!!!!
It is so cool! It was so realistic the first, second, and more times afterwards when I read it. it was so real. I couldn't belivie it! This girl had so many realistic characteristics that it made me see what some girls real life could be! I mean I don't have that kind of life, but I think some girls do have this kind of life. It makes me look at the specific details about what real life can be like! Go Katie Roberts!!!!!! Try to make a second book.It can totally go on!!!!!!!!

Katie Roberts Rules
'I wish we had never moved here.' This is a story of a girl trying to adjust to her new world without forgetting the old. Katie Roberts and her mom moved from New York to a small rural town in Texas in 1947. There is nothing she likes about Texas, she hates the cows, the dust and the weather. Katie's mom is going to remarry a man named Sam Gold. Katie dosn't like Sam and just wants to go back to New York. But when Moma finds out she's going to have a baby everything changes. I loved this book by Amy Hest. It is a funny, heartfelt book about the importance of family. Katie's life unfolds before you when you read her journal entries and letters to Mrs. Leitstein, her old neighbor. It is a fast-paced book for younger readers.
