Book review by Elise
Winnie Barringer can’t stop staring out the window at her best friend Iggie’s house. Iggie and her family moved to Tokyo a week ago, and Winnie feels sad and lost without Iggie there to spend summer vacation with. Winnie’s mother, fed up with Winnie’s moping, makes her get dressed and sends her outside to play. Winnie rides her bike down the street to Iggie’s old house, hoping to catch a glimpse of the family who’s supposed to be moving in soon. She leaves her bike on the sidewalk and walks around the house, remembering all the good times she had there. Suddenly, a station wagon pulls up. Winnie dives into a bush and sees her new neighbors for the first time. Iggie had told her she was in for a surprise, and Iggie was right. The new neighbors are Black, and everyone else in the neighborhood is White! Winnie rages home to tell her mom, but someone has already called her with the news. Winnie is eager to welcome the new, intriguing neighbors, but Winnie’s mom is not enthusiastic.
I thought this book was really good and I highly recommend it. I liked this book because of the way Winnie stood up to the adults, and also that shows Creek Valley’s ICCAR value courage, doing the right thing and being brave. My favorite character in the book would probably be Tina because she was always funny, and cute. My favorite part of the book was when Winnie was biking to the Garber’s house and all the sudden they pull into the driveway and Winnie jumps into the bushes. Something that I found surprising in Iggie’s House was that everyone couldn’t be excepting to everyone, and I recommend this book because you will turn into a book worm when you read this and you will not put it down.
