Swift, interesting read and a fairly successful epistolary novel. Predictable plot of abusive parent, kids trying to find their own way, but likeable characters and a nice examination of what it means to be a hero.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cheri J. Meiners

I never would have discovered this hidden gem if it weren't for my booktwin Martha reviewing it so glowingly a few years back. Not only had I not heard of Garret Freymann-Weyr before, but I'm pretty sure neither of its covers would have induced me to pick it up. Seriously, what in the world were they going for with this one? I just...I have no idea. But I know they missed. And the pink one is sort of cute, but really not indicative at all of what's inside. So. The Printz Honor award, on the other hand, always draws my eye as I've been quite impressed with the majority of Printz picks over the last few years. I would have given this one the award itself--I love it that much. So when an upcoming trip to Morocco rested on the horizon, I went out and purchased a copy of MY HEARTBEAT to take with me. Despite the fact that it's a slim 160 pages, I could tell it should be in the stack as I was packing. I ended up pulling it out one night in our bed & breakfast in Essaouira and staying up much too late devouring it in one gulp. What a lovely memory that night remains. And yet I've talked to comparatively few people who've read this beautiful book. And so today I'm going to tell you exactly why I love it with such intensity. Ellen and her old brother Link live with their crazy busy parents in a full but cozy apartment in Manhattan. They attend the same prestigious private school with Link's best friend James, who Ellen has been in love with for a couple of years now. Link is something of a math genius, a dedicated track star, and quite a talented pianist. James is also a gifted musician (though he has to have sheet music to play), a film buff, and an artist. Together they are her favorite people in the world and she considers life good when the three of them are hanging out together. One day at lunch, after bringing home one too many letters from school criticizing her social skills (or lack thereof), Ellen attempts to be a bit more outgoing and sits with some other girls. When the conversation turns to Link and James, one of the girls says to her, "They're like a couple, aren't they?" And that single sentence turns Ellen's world on end. She realizes this issue has simply never occurred to her before. Nor has the issue of why neither of her boys spends much time with girls. Besides her. Afraid to ask the question, but wanting desperately to understand them both better, Ellen goes first to her mother. And then to Link and James. Their respective responses to her question open up a can of worms Ellen was desperately hoping to avoid, brings down an invisible wall between Link and James, and provides the stepping off point for the beginning of Ellen's education on life, love, loyalty, and how many different versions there are of all of them. It was love at first sight with these three. I can't tell you how quickly I fell for them. Maybe it was when Ellen first revealed that telling Link she thought James was super cute was the only way her seventh-grade self could verbalize totally madly in love. Maybe it was when she kept picturing him as the heroes in the novels she was reading for English class. It could have been every day when Link and James sat on the fire escape during lunch, Link critiquing James' art, prowling the halls after in search of who knows what. Or maybe it was simply when Link and Ellen watched Casablanca together and stood up to sing the "Marseillaise" along with the actors just as their dad taught them to when they were nine and seven years old. MY HEARTBEAT is filled with a million little perfect moments, exquisite glimpses into the lives of others as they try and fail and try to know one another and learn that sometimes the ones you love the most are the ones you know the least. A favorite passage early on as Ellen goes in search of Link after he and James have had a disagreement: I decide to go knock on Link's door and tell him I can't sleep. When I was little we used to sleep in each other's rooms the night before all special occasions: Christmas, trips to Europe, first days of school, and birthdays. We stopped when I was nine or ten. I don't remember which one of us decided we were too old or if anything was said. It just stopped. Special occasions now come and go without our marking it by sleeping in the same room. Link's not exactly Mr. Hospitality tonight, saying, in response to my knock, "I told you no." "It's Ellen," I say, knowing he hasn't told me no in a few days. "It's open for you," he says and I go in. "Who'd you tell no?" I ask, settling carefully into the broken armchair near his bed. "Your mother," he says. When he's mad at Mom or Dad, they become your mother or your father, as if I were responsible for their behavior. It's my policy never to ask why he's mad at them. Why borrow trouble? "James went out," I say. "Yeah, I know," Link says. "Your mother wanted to know where he went." "Do you know?" I ask. "Ellen, it's late." "I don't think he likes that guy at all," I say, wanting to reassure him. And probably myself. "Which guy?" Link asks, sitting up in bed. "What are you talking about?" "The tennis champion," I say. "Oh, that. He was just kidding, Ellen. You can't take James seriously." "So where is he?" I ask. "I don't know," Link says. "He wanted to go out and I didn't. End of story." "How come?" "How come what?" Link asks. I don't say anything. He's not asking me a question so much as telling me it's none of my business. He never says that to me in a flat-out way, of course. It's more Link's style to put all the important information into what he doesn't say. Sometimes I understand him and lots of times I don't. Tonight I do. "He should have asked you to go," Link says. "You would have gone with him." "I might," I say. Probably. Sure. No doubt about it. "You would," my brother says. "You would follow James to the moon." I don't say anything, and after a while Link asks if I want to sleep in his room. "Yes," I say. "Because it's my birthday tomorrow." "It's two in the morning," Link says. "Tomorrow is here." He gets out of bed, and while he's whispering (instead of singing) "Happy Birthday," he clears a space on the floor, where he makes up a sleeping area with a quilt and two of his pillows. "You take the bed," he says, the way he used to when I was nine. I lie awake for a long time. For hours after Link has drifted off to sleep. I listen for and I hear James returning to the house. It is true I would follow James to the moon. But if Link would let me, I would follow him anywhere he wanted. I fell so in love with the relationships in this book. Every one of them. Ellen and Link. Ellen and James. Ellen and her mother. Ellen and her father. They seemed at once so far removed from me and so much the same. I loved the complexity of this most unusual and refreshing of love triangles. It is a mature story, an at times painful story, and it deals with mature and endlessly complicated issues including sexual identity, artistic philosophy, the rigidity of expectations and social mores, and the elasticity of the heart. It will not be for everyone. But it was so very much for me. What a sweet, sweet story and how much I wanted to sit in cafés with Ellen, James, and Link and just be intellectual and chummy with them. Finest kind. Recommended for fans of Madeleine L'Engle, John Irving, and Melina Marchetta.

This is another book that gives me faith in self-publishing. I'm sure that it helps that Amy Nathan published several historical books traditionally, and her reasons for self-publishing this one came (I assume) from wanting to get Sarah Keys Evans' story out there more than she wanted to make a "sell." But aside from a less attractive layout, this is a high-quality historical book for tweens, outlining Sarah Keys Evans' story through the experience of her grand-niece, Krystal, finding out about her. To make a long story short, Sarah Keys Evans was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on an interstate bus when that bus entered South Carolina, where segregation was still practiced "as a rule" on public transportation (even though interstate buses were supposed to be exempt from this practice). It took several years and rejections, but eventually, Sarah and her lawyer ended up closing the "loopholes" in such discrimination so that people could not be asked to reseat according to their race on interstate buses when they entered segregated states, and private bus companies couldn't make rules that went against this ruling (which was how the bus company got away with arresting Sarah Keys Evans in the first place--they allowed the bus company's "rules" to override the law). This is a quick, accessible read that includes snippets of historical documents and photos for those who are interested in going deeper into the story. What I liked best was the way Amy Nathan was able to capture Sarah Keys Evans' character; she was shy and introverted, ashamed to have been arrested, and initially reluctant to "rock the boat" by pursuing the matter. But she did, which is a good reminder that you don't have to be outgoing or brash to stand up for justice.

I can't count how many times I've read this book. Robin McKinley has a gift for taking old stories and reworking them into something that is new and unique, and yet still bringing out pieces of the original that the reader might not have ever noticed before.[return][return]In this version of the story, "Beauty" is not, in fact, very beautiful. Her given name is Honor, to complement the names of her sisters Grace and Hope, but at a young age she discovered what honor meant and said that she wished to be beauty instead. Unfortunately, she didn't grow into this nickname, but her sisters and father were too kind, she says, to remark on it.[return][return]The closeness of the family is one of the changes McKinley made to the story, and I find that it adds a great deal to the story to have Beauty struggle not only with her own lonliness and fear in the Beast's castle, but with her painful separation from her family. In this version, her desire to leave the Beast for the fateful seven-day visit is motivated by her love for her sister Grace, and it is her family who persuades her to stay a little longer because of their own love for her. By switching the motivations from jealousy and spite to love, McKinley opens up new and interesting facets to the story.[return][return]The main reason I love this version so much, though, is Beauty's love of books and reading. She connects with the Beast through his magnificent library, and in fact learns to recognize and accept the magic of the castle through her trust of books. I have heard several rumors that the makers of the Disney version of the story used McKinley's book as a partial source, especially for Belle's love of books and the Beast's library. Although I've never been able to find any source that confirms the rumors, I was certainly thrilled to find one of my favorite parts of my own favorite version of the tale incorporated into the movie.[return][return]Beauty is a marvelously told book in its own right, even separated from the story on which it's based. McKinley has a way of writing that's simple and yet elegant, and has a remarkable facility for conveying her characters' feelings through the way they describe their own surroundings. I'm a huge fan of all of her works, but this one stands above the rest.

What a stunning exploration of the west, a feminist western. Strong sense of place. Not an extra word, syllable, or letter. An example of how to put pressure on the language, pressure on the characters.Molly Gloss has a new book coming out in November, looking forward to reading more of her work.
