Harriet Beamer Strikes Gold
by Joyce Magnin was a fun book to read. “After a whirlwind cross-country move,
Harriet and her devout loving basset hound, Humphry have settled into a new
life in Grass Valley, California. When Harriet learns that she’s going to be a
grandma for the first time and gets a new suite for her salt and peper shaker
collection, she can’t wait for her best friend, Martha to come visit so she
come share her good news.” Harriet seems
a little bored with her life in California and starts on a new adventure with a
Gold Mine. This little adventure quickly turns into a big adventure which may
get Harriet in a mess.
This was my first Harriet
Beamer book and I found it really fun to read. I couldn’t help but to think
that she reminds me of the children’s book character Amellia Bedillia at a
senior level. She’s so full of energy and adventure that at times I found her
character to almost be exhausting but in a good way. I think the book is
probably geared more to the more senior adults out there but still enjoyable to
me. I’m not sure younger readers would enjoy it as much. I really liked Harriet’s
adventurous spirit but at times wanted to shake her and say “That’s not a good
Idea.” I could just imagine a 70+ year old woman riding around in town on a
scooter. I hope when I get there I can have such a lively personality.
I would recommend this book
to others to read especially if you are looking for a light-hearted, comical
book with a touch of family and love for others. I received this book at no
charge from booksneeze.com in exchange for an honest review.
