Author:
Under the
pen name Sullivan Lee as well as her own name, Laura L Sullivan is the author
of several traditionally published books in multiple genres. The former social
worker, newspaper editor, and deputy sheriff is now also self publishing her
short stories.
Description:
“Oskar
wants a pet snake more than anything. His cold, unkind mother refuses, but
finally says that if he can take care of a plant for six months, she'll let him
have a snake. Little does Oskar know that she plans to sabotage his plant. But
this plant is special – and her efforts to kill it only make it stronger!”
Appraisal:
Snake Plant is a fun little story for young and
old alike. Oskar wants a pet and after listening to his mother’s objections to
dogs, cats, and the other obvious choices he thinks he’s hit on the perfect
animal, a snake. But Mom’s got other plans. For any kid whose parent’s rules
seem to go too far (or any adult who was once one of those kids) this story
should be very easy to relate to.
Format/Typo Issues:
No
significant issues.
Rating: **** Four stars
