COMMUNITY REVIEWS
The Winter Room submitted by SBNB on June 23, 2022, 3:53pm It's not a typical story with a conflict and rising action. Over half the book is the boy's description of his life on the farm in spring, summer, and fall. And then in the winter section, he tells a few stories that his uncle would tell in the winter room. It's good and quick, but not typical.
