A High Wind in Jamaica - Finished!

I loved this book right through to the very end. I thought that the adventure and plot were really exciting and that it really showed the resilience of a child. Especially in the end when the writer said that there would be no way or telling Emily apart from any of her schoolmates despite what she had been through.

More words I didn't know:

ALACRITY:

1. Cheerful willingness; eagerness.

2. Speed or quickness; celerity.

ENNUI: Listlessness and dissatisfaction resulting from lack of interest; boredom

TIMOROUS: Full of apprehensiveness; timid.

IMPUDENCE:

1. The quality of being offensively bold.

2. Offensively bold behavior.

Such a great book, easy to read and a cute story. I wish I could celebrate finishing it with a trip to
Jamaica but that is out of the question!
