Favorite Books

Ms. Flynn's favorite book is "Stella Star of the Sea." I fell in love with the cover because the main character is a redhead, like me.  She has a little brother, like me. I bought the book for my niece Maggie who wasn't even born yet. Once she was born I read it to her all the time. She's 15 now. She can read it herself.
