My thoughts ………

ADVENTURES WITH RAGWEED by Linda Lou Crosby

Ragweed is a young teen that sees the world in a unique and comical way. She convinces her best friend, Marney, to accompany her as she takes on the world.

Featuring a collection of short stories, the book moves at a quick pace as the pair of undaunted teens tackle adventure after adventure. Ragweed thinks nothing of taking on the tennis elite at the country club or confusing her family’s gardener by secretly growing beans in their yard. She learns to ride a horse and even build a float.

The author has blended family relationships, friends and a wonderful sense of humor for a well-balanced story. The antics of the two teens will have readers of all ages laughing.

ADVENTURES WITH RAGWEED is a charming book beautifully illustrated by Andy Atkins. The colorful, cheerful drawings will bring a smile to your face as Ragweed sets off on a new journey.

Each short story is an entertaining look at life from a whimsical point of view. A wonderful addition to any library, this book is an enchanting read.
