A Word for Wednesday

"'But I could never have done it,' he objected, 'without everyone else's help.'

'That may be true,' said Reason gravely, 'but you had the courage to try; and what you can do is often simply a matter of what you will do.'"

    I have never read this one. I listened to my sister-in-law read a little bit of it out loud to my nephews a couple years ago, and it sounded kind of weird. Haha. I'll have to try it someday though.

      I highly recommend it! I read it for the first time ever just a few months ago, and I couldn't believe I missed it when I was a kid. Smart as a whip and so funny. :)

      Me too! I want to own it. Marissa Sheely lent me her copy, but I loved it so much I've been looking for it at The Book Shelter every time I go. Haha!
