Book Blurb:
When 10 year-old Jill meets an elderly man in a wheelchair who must get to the top floor of her apartment complex, she has no idea that their journey up ten stories will evolve into an adventure of a lifetime. Enjoy this novella while cuddling at the fireplace and sipping some grownup eggnog, or gather the family around the Christmas tree for a read-along with a carton of the straight stuff. And, afterwards... feel free to read it again. (From Goodreads)
Review:
~I’d like to thank the author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~
This was such a beautiful book! Even though it was short, it still conveyed a powerful message, that kindness is always the best way to live, in a great way.
In The Tenth Floor, the main plot is that Jill (the main character) helps an elderly man get to the tenth floor of the apartment to get a present to someone. Throughout the book, we see how she's so kind, even though it isn’t always easy.
So, though this is a short book, it’s very well written with a wonderful message, and it’s a great Christmas read for people of all ages. Definitely recommended!
Things I Loved:
-It conveyed a powerful message in a simple way
-Even though it's more of a middle-grade read, anyone can enjoy it
-It was set in the 70s which was cool
Things I Didn't Love:
-I might've liked to get to know the characters a little more, but, other than that, it was great!
In Conclusion:
If you're looking for a sweet, hour-long Christmas read, then this one's for you!
