Love Among the Walnuts

(2) 4-6 Take a wealthy, sheltered young man, add two conniving uncles with a murderous plot, a convalescent home full of eccentric characters, and four comatose patients (including a pet chicken), and you have the recipe for a rollicking screwball-comedy of a story. Beginning with "once upon a time," and ending "as happily ever after as real life will allow," the imaginative novel incorporates nonmagical fairy-tale elements and down-to-earth details.
Reviewer: Anne St. John | Horn Book Magazine Issue: January, 1999
