Granny Torrelli Makes Soup is a realistic fiction chapter book by Sharon Creech. I absolutely loved this book! It was such easy reading, I did not want to put it down. It is about a relationship between girl named Rosie and her grandmother. Her grandmother often babysits Rosie while her parents are out or away. Rosie has a best friend named Bailey, a boy next door, who is blind. Bailey and Rosie have grown up together and been best friends ever since she can remember. However, Rosie soon finds that growing up isn't always easy. Now twelve years old, she is discovering it's not always easy dealing with the situations of growing up. Her and Bailey get in one of their first fights and she turns to Granny Torelli for advice. Granny helps Rosie discover whats really important about life, love and friendships while cooking many delicious meals. I think that this book could be a great book for young students to read in the classroom, especially in the upper grades. This is the time students are beginning to deal with the issues of getting older and this book really helps put into perspective how to deal with these sorts of issues. Students could also really relate to the issues discussed in this book. I think it would be a great book to use for book talks or journaling about. Many students have grandparents, or some sort of person they turn to for advice and it would be a great topic to discuss among each other.
