A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana

This book was positively delightful and charming. It made small town America just seem SO fun, and I absolutely loved being in the mind of this young child. It made me want to be a little girl again, and wish that I had been half as spirited and tenacious as she was. I just loved, loved, loved it. The author - Haven Kimmel, is writes about her own experiences in such a wonderful way - she makes you feel you're right in the middle of those exact experiences feeling what she felt. I cannot recommend this highly enough - it's just a perfect, fast, fun read. Her other book, The Solace Of Leaving Early has also come highly recommended, and I will definitely pick it up soon.
