Such a lovely book. Poor May(Mavis).The book was in verse, so it wasn't my favourite kind of reading style, but it still was beautiful to read the story of May.Luckily May is a very strong girl and she keeps going, just fighting and trying to do her daily things even when things look bad.

A swift, sweet read -- a middle-grade novel in verse. Grab this if you loved "On The Banks of Plum Creek."

Loved the story line. I didn't want to put it down. The ending was a bit abrupt, though. Would like to have spent more time with May B.

I absolutely adored this book! It had a bit of a slow start, but once I read more of May's story, I was completely caught up in it! May is one brave, strong, and truly inspirational little girl. :D I definitely recommend this one, especially if you're a poetic verse fan! :D
