Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was a thoroughly entertaining book that documents a family growing up. It is written in a descriptive, conversational style, full of insight.
Some stories are comical, others are touching. Virginia Boyle Traver documents the stories from a perspective that any mother or child could relate to.
It is entertaining to see her children evolve from a young age through high school. The troubles and triumphs of growing up allow us to watch her children evolve into young adults. It is hard not to get attached to her characters. Neighbors and friends add entertaining perspectives to the day-to-day family dramas.
A thoroughly enjoyable read!

In Cool Mom on the Hot Seat, Virginia Boyle Traver offers an entertaining account of raising a family today. Along with poignant and humorous descriptions, spontaneous dialogue provides a continuous momentum to this series of slice-of-life sketches. As the children grow beyond their home and neighborhood, the author moves from being on top of it all to wondering what will happen next.
Cool Mom on the Hot Seat shows what one family found that worked: time alone together at home where one-on-one chats in the kitchen are daily events, and time in the outdoors around a campfire, far away from the phone and computer. This portrayal of a real family growing with the adventure of the everyday rings with a natural universality.
