Another very nice review for GEE on Amazon - not sure who this is actually:
"GEE by Bruce Kimmel was as unexpected as it was a delightful journey into the past through GEE's eyes. I've been a fan of Mr. Kimmel's books for years. This novel was entirely different from all of his others. It's not a mystery or a book about time travel, but a sweet story about a most "peculiar" girl finding her way through life on her terms. I love that GEE is a strong woman with her own mind. She's a great role model for my daughters' as is Peyton a sweet and determined girl in the second half of the book. Once I started reading, I was instantly transported to another time. I got so caught up with this story that I found the book really hard to put down! What I love about Mr. Kimmel's novels is that I always pass them right on to my daughters who love them just as much as I do. But for me, the best part of Mr. Kimmel's books are the conversations we embark on together as a family. These books are rich in history. Much like Peyton in this story, we too were busy on Google looking up the past which led to so many discoveries and discussions. A fantastic book and a must read!"
