From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 4-6–Eleven-year-old Sophie can't wait for her family's annual vacation at the summerhouse on the beach. But this year, her favorite cousin isn't talking to her and won't come out of her room, her dad is mysteriously aloof, and her cat runs away. Writing in short free verse chapters entirely from Sophie's perspective, Spinelli has nonetheless created well-developed characters. The family dynamics are believable, even if a large extended family whose members all more or less get along and vacation together every year might seem idyllic to today's children. Readers will enjoy Sophie's first crush and her wise handling of her cousin's crisis. Spinelli even throws in a smattering of Italian (Sophie is learning the language because the object of her affections has an Italian name), and some arcane information about American history that will keep readers amused and allow them to impress their friends with their knowledge. This is a fun breezy read, perfect for a preteen summer. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Summerhouse time... The title alone makes me think of swimming, playing, and no school. In this marvelous story however it is so much more than that it's about family bonds, being there for your moping cousin, and learning to deal with what you can't explain. Why did Sophies' dad heve a panic attack and why is uer favorite cousin moping during summerhouse time. This story has absolutely captivated my heart and my mind in a semingly innocent 218 pages, I learned the importance of family, first loves, and accepting the unexplainable. |
