I loved this book and recommend it to all my 4th grade students. The story follows a middle-school student named Rebecca. In the beginning, her life appears to be happy and ordinary. Suddenly, everything changes. One night, her parents get into a terrible fight, and her mom decides to move the family from Baltimore to Georgia to live with Gran. In Gran's attic, Rebecca ends up finding a magical breadbox. Will the magic be strong enough to make her family whole again? Bigger than a Breadbox is absolutely fantastic. It is so beautifully written. Laurel Snyder is wonderful.
