Moon Over Manifest, written by Clare Vanderpool, is about a girl who is sent away by her father to stay with a pastor in his home town, Manifest Missouri. It takes place during the mid 1930's, and it stays quite true to history. The story is about Abilene's adventures in her new town and discovering the answers to a mystery, as well as information about her father. It is a piece of historical fiction, and it could easily be used as supplemental material in the classroom. I enjoyed reading it, but I'd have to say that is wasn't my *favorite* book.
We'll see what my fellow teachers in book club say tonight! Now for the most important question...what should I order at Starbucks tonight?
