I enjoyed reading this book. I learned something new, I had never heard of floating libraries before. I think it was definitely a great concept for that time period. I also liked how throughout the book Jesse demonstrated the importance of hard work and working for something that you want. (

Cute book! I'd love to visit a book boat! Or actually, I'd love to own a book boat! (
