Review: A Nostalgic Memory : I first read this book when I was about nine years old. I won a copy in a book reading contest when I was in the fourth grade--a copy of the book went to the boy and girl who read the most books in a certain time period. The books were autographed by Ms. Hoff on her deathbed. Tragically, the book was lost in a move many years ago, but I still treasure the memory of the story of Johann and the deep love he came to have for Texas. I still get choked up over the part where, believing that he will soon be leaving Texas, he is moved to tears by the song of a mockingbird. What a treasure this book is!
