Product Review

This book contains four very short (approximately 1500 words each) vignettes written from the perspective of characters other than Polly Giller.

In the first vignette, Simon Gardner of the Antique Shoppe meets a rather surprising new friend. Vignette #2 is a sweet conversation between Kayla and Hayden as they paint one of the upstairs rooms. She has a lot of questions about growing up. In the third vignette, Marie Sturtz is attempting to convince Noah and Elijah that it's time for bed. Two energetic little boys are a lot of work for their grandparents. In Vignette #4, Heath offers to check on children who are playing in the basement of the Bell House. The tunnel is a perfect indoor playground in the heat of the summer. He discovers that he has a talent for spinning tales, at least when it comes to impressionable children. Ghost stories, it is!

The Bellingwood books are written from Polly's perspective and every once in a while it's fun to look at what's happening behind the scenes from the viewpoint of other characters.

These vignettes were originally published on the nammynools.com website and in the monthly email newsletter to Bellingwood readers.
