"You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts ... but you cannot deny he's got style ... I have such mixed feelings about this book! On the one hand, there are large chunks of angsty!Harry capslocking all over the place, and Sirius moping around, the agonisingly awkward Cho/Harry moments, Hagrid's accent being much thicker (and, as a West Country native, I've got to say that some of it just sounds plain wrong), and his desperately boring tale of failing to get the giants to join them... BUT on the other hand, there are some absolutely brilliant moments. Fred and George sailing out of Hogwarts on their brooms while Peeves salutes them = PERFECTION. And the teachers forming ranks against Umbridge, and being as unhelpful as possible. I especially love McGonagall giving Harry career advice, when she and Umbridge basically start screaming at each other l;asdfkj. ("Potter, I will assist you to become an Auror if it is the last thing I do! If I have to coach you nightly I will make sure you achieve the required results!") Speaking of being coached nightly, though... I was slightly alarmed by how much homework the fifth years were being given. Fair enough it's OWLs year, but to have to stay up past midnight every single night just to stay on top of it all? That's way too much. They need to sleep, otherwise how can they be expected to learn anything in class the next day? YES, I AM WEARING MY SENSIBLE GROWN-UP HAT HERE. I was also slightly confused by Hermione having to learn spells in the DA that I'm pretty sure she taught Harry how to do in preparation for the third task of the Triwizard Tournament. On an unrelated-to-the-book note, I was seriously disappointed by how short the Pottermore version of Order Of The Phoenix is -- only 12 moments to 38 chapters? The previous books have all had AT LEAST one moment per chapter (with Philosopher's Stone having 43 moments to 17 chapters). I'd got used to being able to explore a moment from each chapter -- it was almost like having interactive illustrations. I don't think fans would have minded waiting longer to get a proper experience, either, so idek why it was cut so short. Unless JKR simply didn't have a lot of new information to impart, which I find difficult to believe. And on the subject of new information, I'm not sure how I feel about Naming Seers. I've always admired the thought with which JKR chooses names, and thought it kind of funny that characters don't seem to realise they often have self-descriptive or prophesising names. So the idea of wizarding parents deliberately choosing names that will suit their grown child seems a bit meta, like breaking the fourth wall or something. [Re-read Feb 2015]

Now I get it. I really do. I had to know why -or rather HOW- a book about a 7th grade boy who comes from a hard knocks upbringing equipped with an abusive father, two defiant and angry brothers and a loving, but ill-treated mother are tied into a story that garnishes so much upcoming Newberry attention. The story synopsis itself seemed too heavy a topic for the targeted age group. Especially given Doug's (the main character)artistic interest in Audubon's birds. I'm still scratching my head as to how Gary Schmidt pulled it off. Beautifully written in some of the simplest of terms. I'll admit, there were a couple snipits from the book that I found contrived. But the book, as a whole, was so great that I decided to let them slide. I found myself caring deeply for a positive outcome for this kid. Will he be able to break the cycle? Will he choose NOT to be a product of his environment? I even found myself wanting to be one of the mentors that took him in and recognized his potential early on. As far as mentors go, these mentors had some of the best lines. I have to share a couple. Since I thrive on books that involve eccentric characters, I have to share a conversation between Doug and Mrs. Windermere (a wealthy customer he meets through delivering groceries)... "Do you know what Creativity is?" Mrs. Windermere said. You have to admit: this is not something you expect a normal person to say. "I'm not sure," I said. "I'm sure that you do not know, or you would not be ringing this doorbell. Creativity is a god who comes only when he pleases, and it isn't very often. But when he does come, he sits by my desk and folds his wings and I offer him whatever he wants and in exchange he lets me type all sorts of things that get turned into plays for which people who own New York stages are waiting. And right now, he is sitting by my desk, and he is being very kind. So if you would go away and-" "Suppose you offer him some ice cream," I said. "Would he stay longer?" LOVE IT!!! Here's a quote from another favored mentor, Mr. Powell, the librarian... [Doug talking]"...It sounds like you know what you're talking about." Mr. Powell raised an eyebrow. "I'm a librarian," he said. "I always know what I'm talking about." It's a great story of redemption. I'm reminded -though not in a preachy way- to be cautious of judging others and their situations. (As a side note- I wouldn't recommend this as an audible read. There are pictures at the beginning of each chapter that I found myself flipping the pages back to so that I could better understand the references and metaphors.)
