Adventures with Waffles

This was soo calm and cute. It was like a hug. I loved Trille and Lena, they were such good best friends! Lena was so brave and got hurt a lot but she didn't care. Trille was so caring and loyal to her. Grandpa was nice too. Trille's grief was so real. I loved the way they spoke and how Norway was described. It seemed to have taken place in this country site on the north at fjords some years after World War 2. I recommend this to all! I read this for the BOTM of “Great Middle-Grade Reads” group, and it was very enjoyable and sweet!!!

As a book to read to kids this would bea test. Fun and heartwarming. Very similar in many ways to the Great Brain but in Norway instead of rural Utah. Probably 3 stars for me at the beginning but the last handful of chapters are wonderful.
