Home, and Other Big, Fat Lies by Jill Wolfson

This book really touched my heart, with the foster kid thing. And how the foster kids felt like they didn't really belong (until the end, of course). And I empathize with that. This book was a really fun read, and gave me some insight as to what foster kids feel.

Was it really voodoo? I'm not sure, so... this was wasn't great for me. Whitney is funny though and was wondering why there was no mention of the previous book.

I loved this book! Whitney is a strong character and very funny. Anyone who cares deeply about the environment will relate to this story.

I loved the way the author but this book together. It might get a little difficult to find the meaning of what 'Whitney' (Termite) is saying, but it might just surprise you. This book is amazing, and you will laugh at the unique way Whitney looks at the world. Loved It!

I ended up skimming this after the first 50 pages. I found that I didn't really care about the main character. She was putting up such a front to protect herself emotionally that it was hard to connect with her at all. Also, the environmental themes and morals fell flat for me because they felt contrived.

I really enjoyed this story about foster kids and how one foster kid comes to learn what a home and a family really is from spending time in nature. I'm not a nature lover (or hater), but this was a well-told story about both.
