Willa is a girl who enamor, but it isn’t like she planned it. That wasn’t specially because she was going to have a new brother. She is in the fence apprenticeship some thing transcendent. At the end of the summer Willa, and her brother, and her Horace’s friend do something important.

One day Willa’s mother cooked a chicken pot pie and she felt marvelous when Horace asked her if he could take other piece of that pie. She said ” Why?, of course. I wish everyone in this house liked my chicken pot pie as much as you do.

Willa felt nice with her dress. She thought that she looked like lofty and majestic. Her aunt was agreed with her too. Every person who came in and looked at her said the same thing, that she lights beautiful. ” Nice Willa” Matthew repeated again and again.

At the summer’s end Willa thought that summer was extraordinary. She said good bye Nicholas and she remembered his brown eyes. Nicholas was the truth love’s Willa.

Willa’s Mother “I wish everyone in this house liked my chicken pot pie as much as you do.”

I think this words are important because she expressed her feeling about her food. Every mom try to do or in this case try to cook the best that she can for her family and that they don’t appreciated is sad for her. When Horace told that if he could take other piece, she felt delighted.

In my opinion at the beginning this book was a little bored for my, but I think is a good book for ESL students because is easy to read and understand it.
