"My 8-year-old daughter was pulled into a special group to read this -- and tomorrow, to hear the author speak. She begged me to join (in the reading and the trip), and it's hard not to embrace her love of words.
I wish, though, that I'd loved this book.
It skews quite a bit younger than she usually reads (which is funny, as the narrator/protagonist is her age). And it just didn't resonate with me.
It's a sweet tale of a girl adjusting to life in NYC. But not anything that will stay with me very long.
"I never knew that Vera B. Williams wrote anything longer than picture and short poetry books until I found this novel. It's about a girl who moves to an apartment in New York City, and the people she meets in her apartment building as she rides her scooter around and makes friends. It took place during the course of one summer, and the way Williams makes you feel as if you're there, with little details of daily life, I think it's got to be all or partly autobiographical. I liked the relationship between Elana and her mother, who were on their own after Elana's father left. Williams does a good job of portraying what it's like to throw a tantrum and lose control of oneself. I would like to read more about Elana's adventures--wish she'd write a sequel!"
