Literary Merit: Good Characterization: Good Recommended: Yes Level: Middle School Drive is a solid historical fiction for middle graders. It tells the story of twins, Ida and Ellie Honeycutt, as they begin their freshman year. The girls are inseparable, but as the school year begins, each begin discovering who they are on their own, while also dealing with familial issues. This newfound independence causes the sisters to grow apart, especially after they fall for the same guy at the local NASCAR race track! Set during the early 1950's, Drive touches on Eisenhower's presidential election and the effects of PTSD on the Honeycutt twin's father. It is a wholesome family tale that is reminiscent of The Waltons. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
This middle-grade book, the fourth in the best-selling Bakers Mountain Stories series by Joyce Moyer Hostetter, features twin sisters Ida and Ellie Honeycutt, who find themselves growing apart as they respond differently to their father's postwar trauma, the NASCAR speedway in their town, and their new high school. With home life destabilized by her father's postwar trauma, Ellie Honeycutt seeks escape at the NASCAR speedway and in her dreams of travel and college, while her twin sister, Ida, clings to family and finds solace in her sketchbook. Their close relationship is threatened when they both fall for the same charming classmate at their new high school. But a devastating car accident renews the sisters' deep bond and forces them to reverse their roles. Set against the backdrop of the nuclear arms race and the 1952 presidential election, this coming-of-age story is told in the twins' alternating voices. No library descriptions found. |
