Sam by Allegra Goodman

5.0

Really enjoyed this coming of age tale about Sam. This book begins with Sam as a 7-year-old describing adventures with her dad and her boring school routine (having spent a lot of time in elementary school classrooms lately, it felt authentic!). As Sam gets old, we see her talent and skill for climbing grow, but her confidence and sense of security takes one hit after the next. I was eager to see where her journey would take her and loved how the characters and the story developed.
