Since it's January it may be a bit premature to say this, but I expect this to be one of the best books I'll read all year. It definitely deserved to win this year's Newbery Award. Rebecca Stead has crafted a fantastic novel for young readers-and under 200 pages, no less! The book features a well-paced plot, characters you care about, the "$20,000 Pyramid" and a dash of time travel theory thrown into the mix. How could anyone not love that? And I also love Stead's homage to Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time," which figures as an important plot device in the story. Stead effortlessly takes random fragments of ideas throughout the book and then puts them all together at the end for a truly mind-blowing finale. I think I want to read the whole book again to see exactly how everything fits together. ( ![]() This book has so many things happening in it. It is a book about friendship and it goes through what happens when a person only has one friend, and what happens when friends drift. It then has a time traveling aspect to it when she receives letters from the future. This is not personally a book I enjoyed. This book is about a girl named Miranda living in New York with her mother. Disguised as a book about time travel readers learn the healthy habits of having more than one friend. The book also teachers readers about communication skills when Miranda talks with Sal about him pulling away from the friendship. This book goes through so many topics. This book talks about the codependence people can develop by only allowing one friend. This book also shows Sal and Miranda finding other friends and socializing. While they are split, Miranda gets random notes from the future, so this novel throws the whole sci-fi time travel idea out there. This book would be great for kids in the upper level middle school grades as it has many real world struggles in all different areas.
This book has a very nice climax when given. Exciting and has much significance to it. Symbolic and wonderful. ...a story in which characters really come alive during those few months we spend with them, when their lives are shaped for ever. In this taut novel, every word, every sentence, has meaning and substance. A hybrid of genres, it is a complex mystery, a work of historical fiction, a school story and one of friendship, with a leitmotif of time travel running through it. Most of all the novel is a thrilling puzzle. Stead piles up clues on the way to a moment of intense drama, after which it is pretty much impossible to stop reading until the last page. Eventually and improbably, these strands converge to form a thought-provoking whole. Stead ('First Light') accomplishes this by making every detail count, including Mirandas name, her hobby of knot tying and her favorite book, Madeleine LEngles 'A Wrinkle in Time'. Its easy to imagine readers studying Mirandas story as many times as shes read LEngles, and spending hours pondering the provocative questions it raises. Stead's novel is as much about character as story. Miranda's voice rings true with its faltering attempts at maturity and observation. The story builds slowly, emerging naturally from a sturdy premise. As Miranda reminisces, the time sequencing is somewhat challenging, but in an intriguing way. The setting is consistently strong. The stores and even the streets–in Miranda's neighborhood act as physical entities and impact the plot in tangible ways. This unusual, thought-provoking mystery will appeal to several types of readers. Pertany a aquestes col·leccions editorialsContingut aInspirat en
