| Grade 3–5—Esmerelda Swishback McCarther has spent most of her seven years living in four different countries on four different continents with her military family. Arriving back in the United States, she and her brother begin school in a suburb of Washington, DC. Unfortunately, her father must leave for a tour of duty—100 days and 99 nights. Saddened and fearful for him, Esme gives him the precious remnant square from her "blankie" to take with him. While he is away, she struggles to remain dutiful and strong, traits that her family values. Madison authentically portrays the stresses experienced not only at home but also in the classrooms of children whose loved ones are away at war. When Esme and her friend Martina spearhead a project to help the troops by collecting scrap metal, the entire community becomes involved and the news reaches her father, who proclaims Esme a hero. This is a light yet realistic novel about a reality well known to many American families. All branches of the armed forces are featured in some capacity although Esme's father is a sergeant in the Army.—D. Maria LaRocco, Cuyahoga Public Library, Strongsville, OH |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| My husband is overseas in the military and for periods longer than 100 days. I read this as a read aloud for my children. The issues the children deal with in the story and things they are missing about dad and family routines hit home with my boys. This book opened up discussions for us. There is a part in the book where the brother gets in trouble for fighting and his principal seems very understanding and my son wished his had been like her. In the book, the school staff seem very supportive, but there are many classmates that have parents away for the war too.
I think this is a must read for teachers of children that have a parent away in the war- would open eyes up if they aren't. |
