A Girl From Yamhill : A Memoir

This enjoyable memoir is not just for people who love Beverly Cleary's children's books, but for anyone interested in post WWI Portland, Oregon or a well written tale of growing up during The Great Depression. The reading level described in the listing is 12 years or younger, but I think despite Cleary's lovely simple prose, the events described will be better *understood* by readers 12 years old and older, as it does cover Beverly's life through age 18, and high school graduation.
