Write a book review for “Soggy Yellow Spuds,” a book about the fateful journey of a sack of potatoes from farm to factory. Make it a positive review from the point of view of a middle-aged woman. Choose an author name.
**Soggy Yellow Spuds by Ronald A. Spudchaser** is a raw, thought-provoking story of one burlap-wrapped family of young potatoes on an emotional journey across the country. Their courage as they bounce from farm truck to semi-trailer to freight container, trading warm spring sunshine for cavernous metal walls is humbling. At one point in the story, I cried when the bag tore and the smallest potato fell to the ground during a transfer between trucks. My kids are long grown up, but my motherly heart broke. The other spuds could only watch in horror as they rolled away into a gutter. Their stoicism throughout the harrowing tale is a lesson in perseverance and bravery that people can only hope to achieve in their lifetimes.

Don’t buy this book if you’re looking for tepid, feel-good reading, but do buy it if you want gentle humor and beautiful descriptions of love and tenderness from an unexpectedly feisty little family. I promise that sorrow is tempered with joy and the book is well worth a read. It gets all the stars from me!
