Okay for Now by Gary D. Schmidt is the kind of book you can’t put down until it’s over. It’s the kind of book that you want all your friends to read so  you can talk about it. It’s the kind of book that reminds you why you always have a book on your bed side table. It’s the kind of book that deserves a long and detailed post.

Somehow though, this little ball of fluff

has sapped a lot of my time and energy this week (Note: This is not an admission that my husband was right when he said that a puppy would be way more work than I thought it would be.) so my best recommendation is to go quickly to your local library or independent book store and check out, Okay for Now.

And then come back here and tell me what you thought of it…
