I really loved JUNIE! I went to sleep reading it and woke up each morning ready to read more before I started my day. Erin Crosby Eckstine does an incredible job of building well-rounded and complicated characters you fall in love with in this coming-of-age story loosly based on her great-great-great-grandmother's escape to freedom shortly before the Civil War. An incredible story with surprises throughout.
