Are you ready for this summer’s “Juiciest” read?
When Life Gives You O.J. is the story of a girl named Zelly, her eccentric grandpa, Ace, and his ill-advised plan to help Zelly get a dog. Ace’s plan involves an old plastic orange juice jug and is either so crazy it just might work or just plain crazy.
The book is written by Erica S. Perl, and is intended for an audience between 8-12 years of age. I however, thoroughly enjoyed it and am well, a lot older! I found the character of Zelly to be relate-able and fun. I even found myself laughing out loud at certain points in the book!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun summer read before heading back to school!
When Life Gives you O.J. was released on June 14th, and was picked as Amazon’s Best Book of the month for June!
You can check out Erica’s Blog and Facebook Page, and keep your eyes open because the sequel to OJ will be out in September of 2012!
One lucky Family and Life in Las Vegas reader is going to win their own copy of When Life Gives you O.J., a summer backpack, and water bottle to keep you cool during this hot read!
Disclosure: I received a copy of When Life Gives You O.J. for my review. All opinions are 100% honest and my own. No monetary compensation was given for this post.
