There are so many "coming of age" books available, but this one is special, not surprising considering who the author is. Irene Hunt writes "real" people, with "real" issues, not the usual stereotypical characters that are so common in young adult literature. Told from a first-person point of view, we are witness to young Julie's inner issues, her desire to control situations, and eventually, to her growth into a young woman. This Newbery Award winning book was a pick for my book group. It sparked a lively discussion. I really enjoyed it, but found it to be more appropriate for adults or young adults. The material seemed quite dense for a child. Wonderful characters, some flawed, all growing. A wonderful unfolding of an unusual family. A lot to ponder. I really liked this story of Julie growing up and learning about love and family. Julie is a real girl - full of flaws and selfishness and loyalty and love. I especially appreciated her realization of where home really was and what love means.There aren't a lot of exciting plot twists, but there is a nice sense of growing up and "coming of age". ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
