Decent Essays
In the book, Dancing Through the Snow, by Jean Little, there are many different events that happen. These events, both small and big, leave you wanting to read more. In the book, the main character is a 12 year old girl named Min Randall. She has no family or no home, she is a foster child who is always jumping from house to house. Not after long, Min was back at Children’s Aid and this time it was a week before Christmas. Min, with no hope left, became very sad. Jess Hart was a former doctor for Children’s Aid, and she wanted to help Min. So, she brought her home for the holidays but they became very close, and it became more than just a couple days for the holidays. I feel like this was a well-written novel and it had a very good story.
