I loved this one! From start to finish. The absolute, pure, loving, real, hilarious relationship Elsa has with Granny gives me life.
🧣
We have this incredibly well-read 7 year old, Elsa. She is fierce, independent, and raw. She has read all the Harry Potter books SEVERAL times. She is emphatically, grammatically correct. Her Granny is her superhero, she is witty, sly, mischievous, loud, eccentric and passionate. Elsa loves her mom, Ulrika, but she is "everything that Granny is not." She's structured, organized, tactful, patient, which makes it hard for Granny and Mom to agree on anything.
🧣
Granny has created this mythical, fairy-tale world that Elsa has fully submerged herself into. A beautiful way to understand the things in life that are typically difficult to comprehend. Especially for a 7 year old.
🧣
It's no secret that this feisty Granny, gets cancer and passes away very early in the book. She leaves Elsa to go on a grand adventure. A "treasure hunt." Granny has letters addressed to everyone she knew. Apologizing to them for all the petty annoyances and nasty things she did and said to them.

A cute coming of age story for a very extraordinary "almost 8 year old." Elsa discovers the past of her Granny and learns how to move on toward a happy future.
