This book is a wonderful treat–on the surface it's a fairly lighthearted tale, but it also has insights into some of the quite complex goings-on in our minds as we grow up. The conveys all of this beautifully, with “simple” drawings that telegraph all of the complexities involved. It also has one of the best ending lines of any book I've ever read, which I won't spoil for anybody reading this review.
I also love this book as an object–it's got heft, a strong binding and a smooth, cool cover, perfect for summer reading.
Wanted to understand the Caldecott controversy. Illustrations are gorgeous, but I think saying this is for Caldecott age group is a stretch, even allowing for the up to 14 argument. Skim was solidly YA, I see this as the same.
a nice book about 2 girls spending summer holidays somewhere on the beach with their families.
It's mainly about the coming of age of two young teenage girls. There is nothing special about the story and no complex plot. it's a nice read but not stimulating and didn't leave much impression on me, it's a nice easy read though.
