A Corner of the Universe

By Ann M. Martin


     Hattie Owen was a normal girl in the 60's. She lived in a small town, went to school daily, and her family owned a boarding house. But everything changed that one summer. She finds out she has another uncle who is 21. Hattie's grandparents shipped him away to a school for the mentally challenged when he was 12 and now that school is closing down. His name is Adam and he an ecstatic, fun-loving man that wants nothing more than to have a friend and repeat I Love Lucy lines. He had a special way of taking everything normal and flipping it upside down. After that summer, Hattie will be changed forever.


     This book was very good at the end but it kind of dragged in the beginning. I give it a 3 out of 5 * * *
