I received this book for free in exchange for this honest review.*
Mustaches for Maddie is an extraordinary read for the young and old. Maddie is just your regular girl, having fun as any little girl should. One day the unexpected, the unbearable horror when your child becomes sick. I could not imagine what was going through Maddie's parent's minds as they found out about their sweet little girl. Maddies is a fighter though, every day she fought through with a fun mustache or two.
My 11-year-old and I read Mustaches for Maddie. She found this book easy to understand and follow along with. Being 11 years old makes her almost Maddie's age in this book so she was very appealed to read this book, plus she loves mustaches. This is a very related book about what pre-teens go through on daily bases.
Mustaches For Maddie shows even though things are not going as planned that with a great attitude and some fun mustaches you can change your day around. This book is a wonderful read and I recommend it as a must-read. Look at the world a little different after reading Mustaches for Maddie.
