Love it. Through reading to my kids I've found both Kate DiCamillo and Katherine Applegate to be peanut butter smoothies—as nourishing as they are delicious. Also, if I were to write a One Sentence on this One Sentence (don't worry, I won't), it would highlight this sentence: "Jenkins is presenting a reality so granular and authentic — and so serious to its inhabitants — that style would register as a kind of disrespect." This alone made me request the book from the library.
i love peanut butter smoothies and i love this comment! and i've never heard of katherine applegate, somehow -- very very eager to check her out. is there a book you especially recommend?
The One and Only Ivan is the one that put her on my radar. My third grader brought it home, and before even taking off his backpack, dragged me to the couch to read it with him. He also liked Willowdeen and Wishtree—his teacher read those in class. Her latest is called Odder, about an otter.
“style would register as a kind of disrespect.” I just love that. Don’t let’s mess with that serious 1st grader😄
