4.0
This was cute and I have not read many books about the caregiver situation. I did have a tiny problem with the main character blurting out things without the reading understanding how she got there. An example, mom misses a soccer game due to the aunt's doctor's appointment. Now we are in the child's head the entire time, but from no where comes, "You love Tannie more than me!" As a reader, I was like what? Where did that come from? Overall it was good, but I would have liked a bit more meat to it. It's too long to be an easy chapter book and really short for a juvenile fiction.

A short illustrated chapter book focused on a girl, her mother, and her great-aunt. Aunt Tannie is a farm-girl, still taking care of her chickens and her garden in Mississippi. When she falls again, Jenna and her mother bring her to live with them at their place in Virginia. A sweet story of family and togetherness but not particularly memorable.
