Genre-Fiction

Reviewed by Liberty

Summary/Main Idea
She is staying at her Aunt Emma's!!  And it's almost winter.  Emma used to live somewhere where it was always warm.  So the lemon heads reminded her of the sun.

My Thoughts
This author did a great job!  Five stars isn't the best - she should get 1000 stars! This story is soothing at first but after that you'll get a kick in the head.  So watch out for lemon drops!
