A Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt by C. Coco De Young
Review by Grace
A Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt by C. Coco De Young takes place during the Great Depression and shows how people suffered. Mrs. Roosevelt is receiving a lot of letters from people in need. She wants to respond to all of them. Eleven year old, Margo Bandini wants to help her family stay in their house in Johnstown, Pennsylvania so she sends a letter to Mrs. Roosevelt. Will the president's wife respond? The Bandinis are very brave. I like that Margo is my age and that I learned what every day life was like during the Great Depression.

Review by Nathan
A Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt by C. Coco De Young is about is about Margo Bandini and her family in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1933.They seem safe from the Great Depression but the dominoes are falling in Johnstown. Papa owns a shoe shop but is often payed in food not in cash. They get behind on the loan payments. They have two weeks to catch up on payments and Margo is determined to help her family and save her house.
This book gives you a glimpse of the lives of the people during the depression. It talks a lot about being strong and courageous. I like Margo's determination and smart thinking.
