With Love From Spain, Melanie Martin
The Martin family band together for a two-week Spring break vacation as seen through the eyes of 11-year-old Melanie. Readers join Melanie through the pain and confusion of first love as she fills her senses with the compelling Spanish landscape.
With Love From Spain, Melanie Martin will make you want to take your kids on a European adventure of your own, no matter where you live in the world!
None.
Because the author phonetically spells the Spanish words Melanie learns, I found myself saying some of the words aloud and learning quite a few things along the way. An appendix of all the foreign words Ms. Weston used would have been an added benefit to the book.
This is an amusing linguistic travel adventure written in diary format.
The potential for this book is it's "that's me" value for Tweeners making the transition beyond being big kids.

Not read with child.
Buy. I highly recommend the book for its witty, yet educational quality.
