Summary: Wonderfully engaging!
Review: I don't know if it is the rhythm of the story, or the delightful characters and their changing relationships that enchanted me so in this story of Ernest and his completely boring, predictable world being upset by Victoria, the new girl in school. Ernest has lived a clockwork life with his elderly grandmother and equally aged housekeeper for 10 years. That begins to change, when Victoria and her 13 brothers come into his life. He begins to stray from his dull routine, and one day, discovers a book in the grocery store. He has NEVER been to the grocery store until he helps Victoria, but on this fateful day, he discovers a book in the paperback rack that may have the answer to his life-long question; where is his father, and why did he leave him? As Ernest pursues this quest, he finally begins to live life, bringing his grandmother along with him. Ernest does discover the answer to many of his questions, but more importantly, he, along with his grandmother, discover what it means to really live and love. "Secret Letters From 0 to 10" is a completely charming read.

Summary: delightfully French!
Review: This book is delightful! Fresh metaphors and quotable lines abound. I feel like a French way of thinking and living permeates this book, and the translation captures a way of thought that is different from that in America. Another thing I noticed is the proliferation of cross-age friendships, as people of many different stages of life join their lives together. This book is a definite "keeper"!
