It’s 1953 and 11-year-old Penny dreams of a summer of butter pecan ice cream, swimming, and baseball. But nothing’s that easy in Penny’s family. For starters, she can’t go swimming because her mother’s afraid she’ll catch polio at the pool. To make matters worse, her favorite uncle is living in a car. Her Nonny cries every time her father’s name is mentioned. And the two sides of her family aren’t speaking to each other!

Inspired by Newbery Honor winner Jennifer Holm’s own Italian American family, Penny from Heaven is a shining story about the everyday and the extraordinary, about a time in America’s history, not all that long ago, when being Italian meant that you were the enemy. But most of all, it’s a story about families–about the things that tear them apart and bring them together. And Holm tells it with all the richness and the layers, the love and the laughter of a Sunday dinner at Nonny’s. So pull up a chair and enjoy the feast! Buon appetito!

Jennifer L. Holm is the grandniece of Alice Amelia Holm, a Finnish-American girl born on the Nasel River in Washington state during the nineteenth century. The recent discovery of her grandaunt’s diary and her ancestors’ adventures in the Pacific Northwest inspired the character of May Amelia from her Newbery Honor Book Our Only May Amelia, available on audio from Listening Library. Ms. Holm produces television commercials and lives with her family in Brooklyn, New York, where she is working on her next book.

Product description

About the Author

Jennifer L. Holm is the author of the 1999 Newberry Honor book, Our Only May Amelia. In addition to writing novels for young adults, she produces television comercials and lives in Brooklyn, New York.

From AudioFile

Amber Sealey breathes life into Holm's semiautobiographical story of 1953 Brooklyn. It's the summer Penny Falucci turns 12. Although she lives with her plain, ordinary mother, grandparents, and poodle, Scarlett O'Hare, she spends a lot of time with her deceased father's large, loving Italian-American family as she tries to know the father she can't remember. As the voice of Penny, Sealey creates the feel of the fifties--from the hope in the Brooklyn Dodgers winning the pennant to the fear that polio lurks in every public pool to Penny's enthusiasm for the word "swell." Sealey captures Penny's determination to uncover the facts of her father's death and reunite the two sides of her family.

Read aloud to my 7 and 10 yo boys. Coming from families that are of German and Italian decent, this touching story really hit home. Jennifer Holm does a wonderful job of weaving in history providing context that makes explaining today's crazy world a little more (sadly) understandable. We giggled at Me-Me's cooking, related to the importance big family meals, understood the hope you put into your favorite baseball team, wondered where the treasure might be, and appreciated the hospitality behind some free ham from Uncle Paulie's butcher shop. Knowing where you come from helps get you going. Highly recommend!!

I was looking for a calm, touching read about life in the mid-20th century and this book did not disappoint. The Italian family compare and contrast to the WASP family made it all the more enjoyable. The treasure hunt and Penny's accident were the suspenseful highlight of the story. Holm digs a few inches into the struggles of Italians (and her father's death) but not so deep that it overshadows the feeling of happiness in other areas of Penny's life. If you home school your children this would be a great resource for your mid-century history lessons.

Read this book for the first time when I was in 5th grade and loved it. Now, I am reading to the same age range and they are loving it just as much as I did. Even the boys in my class are into it and loving it just as much as the girls. Don't hesitate whether or not you should buy, just hit the button, you won't regret it!
