Well, maybe 3 1/2 stars. Cute story about a learning opportunity for a girl from NYC who visits her mother's home in N. Carolina. (I liked the cultural comparisons.) For upper elementary.

The Christmas cup by Nancy Ruth Patterson
Story of Anne who as an eight year old goes with her grandmother to an auction sale where she is able to spend her profits from a lemonade stand.
She finds an old rusty milk tin and is able to buy it. They come up with a plan in how to save money and at Christmas give it to one who is beholding.
They each put coins in and keep a list of others who've been real nice to them. Stories of the children during their school days. It's amazing who is selected and why they gave it to them.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

This quick read is a charmer.
Ellie and her mom have lived in a shelter for several months, ever since a hurricane destroyed their old life. They are not homeless, but "tweenies," as her mom puts it-- between houses. Ellie's dad, who died in the hurricane trying to rescue others, was a farrier, and her mom hopes to follow in this career path. She gets the opportunity when she is offered a job caring for horses in Virginia horse country. Ellie is offered a full scholarship to the local prep school. When she first arrives, many of the girls in her class are snobbish and make her feel unwelcome. But after a schoolmate sees Ellie get off the bus in front of the huge mansion owned by her mother's employer, a rumor starts at school that not only is Ellie "mega rich," but she's a princess. Ellie overhears the whispers, and knows she ought to stop the rumors, but suddenly all the other girls like her... what harm can a rumor that SHE didn't start do?
Patty Weise's lovely illustrations complement the story. While the cover art looks a little juvenile, booktalking the story will make this an easy sell to middle grade girls in search of friendship stories sprinkled with a dash of horsiness.
