I received this as an ebook, which I have found difficult to read, since I neither like to sit in front of the computer all day nor read on my phone screen for a long time. What I read of it though, was not terrible, as far as the plot itself is concerned. It read more like a screenplay than a book, though, which I didn't care for. It seemed to lack a certain depth to the writing and the storytelling, and was generally awkward. (  ) renee_desroberts | Dec 12, 2009 |  A delightful story about a young girl who chooses to meet the trials of life with constant hope, a determined courage and an adventurous spirit. I believe Ociee Nash is a role model for younger children because her character is caring, charming, amiable and willing to be a friend to everyone she comes across. This series (I have read all three books) is suitable for a young audience, preschool children who like bedtime stories, and story time at the library, older readers may find the writing basic and the story too simplistic to hold their attention. (  ) librarypatron | Nov 6, 2009 | I received this book through "Library Thing Early Reviewers." It is the Captivating story of young Ociee Nash - a tomboy on the verge of becoming young lady. The novel is based on the life and character of the author’s grandmother. Ociee’s love for adventure, along with her tender heart get her into some interesting scrapes, including the time she sought to befriend an elderly recluse whom the children had called ‘The Witch.’ The writing style is delightful, with much gentle humor and unexpected turns of phrase. Here is a brief quote: “Ociee, please don’t wear the hat,” said Papa. “It’s filthy with road dust.” “But this is my traveling hat. It gives me courage.” I looked in the mirror. Papa was right. My dress looked like it belonged to a princess, but with my hat on, I was a princess who was going catfishing. I enjoyed this book so much that I had to also read the other two books in the Ociee series: Book One: A Flower Blooms on Charlotte Street Book Two: Ociee on Her Own (  ) TizzzieLish | Nov 5, 2009 | For the third installment of the series, it did not disappoint. With all the great adventures of this young woman, and her family. It is a pleasure to read about her life. Usually the final book is more boring than previous, however I found myself just as rapt as the previous books. I had to know the outcome, and was so happy at the end! Of the three books, so far, this was my favorite. I hope the next will be just as good! A great read for any young girl! ( ) fredamans | Nov 3, 2009 | Sweet and charming. Other reviewers have compared it to Anne of Green Gables and Pollyanna - I'd agree more with the Pollyanna. As an adult, I found it a bit simplistic and, well, almost shallow, so while I think it would be excellent for younger children, it doesn't hold up as well for adults.
