such a good book! blueberries for sal! i loved it as a kid, but i love it even more because it reminds me so much of this fantastic trip i took to machias, maine with some good friends. not only was it a weekend long fun-filled adventure to the machias blueberry festival, but also an adventure that continues to bring me happiness. and last weekend (thank goodness for the throngs of people who pour into new haven for the harvard yale football game) we got to have a small machias reunion, and that made me exceptionally happy! thank goodness for blueberries and machias and the good stories they bring!
