When you pick up a book by an award winning author like Sharon Creech you can expect a good book.  Her latest novel, The Great Unexpected is no exception.   I loved this book.  Just like the title, you just don't know what you are going to get when you start a new book.  It may be happy or sad or just something you couldn't ever imagine.  That is just what Sharon Creech does in this book.  She gives you a mix of interesting characters, an unusual plot twist and just the right amount of mystery.  When asked what this book is about Sharon Creech says, "This is the story of how the unexpected can sometimes be great."  I wholeheartedly agree.  Take a chance on this book.  You won't regret it.
