Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell in Love is the sequel to
Emma Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree and it is written by
Lauren Tarshis, the mad-crazy-selling author of the
I Survived series. I didn't expect AWESOME things from Emma Jean Lazarus Fell in Love, but that is what I got. I guess I thought...I don't know...a Scholastic series, formulaic writer, maybe? Yes, that is what I thought, even though I really did like
I Survived Pompeii, 79 AD. I am sorry that I didn't have hopes for a super great book in EJLFIL, I just checked the audio out because it was available and I needed a book. I didn't know it was a sequel, either. But I am so glad that I didn't know, because I probably wouldn't have listened to it and I would have totally missed out on the great book that this was! I am going to read the first one, second because I need to find out more about this quirky Emma-Jean!
Opps, I almost forgot that this book title reminded me of the song
Norma Jean Riley. It's a catchy little tune that I thought was by the
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, but it is
Diamond Rio!
