PDF/EPUB Trouble Kindle ´ ✓ coinfetti.co trouble ebok, Trouble EpubGary Schmidt is probably my favorite children's writer after the venerable Katherine Paterson I love both of them as phenomenal people and admire them both madly as writers So that's a disclaimer of sorts That said I didn't love TROUBLE as much as LIZZIE BRIGHT and I didn't work on this book so don't have uite the affection for it that I do for THE WEDNESDAY WARS And I do see a few wee little problems in the narrative BUT they hardly matter bc I think the heart of this book rises far above the narrative itself And there's just so much I did love in this book I loved Black Dog fiercely I loved the entirely real portrayl of a brother and sister discovering each other's separate selves and being both total strangers and absolute mirrors of one another at the same time I love the inherent capital T Truth that's always at the c
PDF/EPUB Trouble Kindle ´ ✓ coinfetti.co trouble ebok, Trouble EpubI’ve found that some authors make me feel good about my own abilities as a writer I read their work and I think to myself ‘OK I’m relatively certain I’m at least in the same league with this and such author’ No such luck with Gary Schmidt This guy is an absolute pro Trouble is a gritty young adult novel about a teenager whose all star older brother is struck and killed by a truck apparently driven by a young Cambodian refugee In the aftermath of thi
PDF/EPUB Trouble Kindle ´ ✓ coinfetti.co trouble ebok, Trouble EpubThe first few pages were difficult to get through because the author spent WAY too much time describing the setting However I enjoyed how the author developed the characters throughout the book as well as the plot twists that left me stunnedNow that I think about it I should have seen them coming from a mile away But since I was so immersed in the story it was hard to take a step back and look at the big pictureI liked the characters' growth throughout the story particularly Henry's However some of the characters did not have much of
PDF/EPUB Trouble Kindle ´ ✓ coinfetti.co trouble ebok, Trouble EpubThis is my review Another amazing coming of age novel from Schmidt plus SO much I can't begin to explain how much I adore this book I thought Wednesday Wars was near perfect but having just finished Trouble I don't know which one I like better Schmidt is an amazingly gifted writer His imagery is so evocative yet tangible His characters are accessible likeable and still complex enough to be real I am a thirty something mother of three daughters and found this book to be an engaging believable story of a boy trying to make sense of his emotions when his perfect New England prep school world comes crashing down around him Schmidt draws racial and cultural prejudices into uestion by encouraging the reader to see the human story behind someone labeled as Other ie not like meus And he deftly explores the themes of redemption forgiveness and how we deal with grief both collectively and personally For me this book is the young adult version of Cry the Belov

PDF/EPUB Trouble Kindle ´ ✓ coinfetti.co trouble ebok, Trouble EpubMy favorite sentences from this book areHe could see pink and white blossoms in nearby orchards and farther away the brief yellow of the daffodils so bright they looked as if Van Gogh had just come from them with his paint brush still wet in his hand pg 108A heart that has lost knows every other heart that has lost pg 197The first let me see what the author was describing the second is just a lovely way to say what is true And comparing a book to a painting is a wonderful way to provide a visual image of what can be difficult to describe V
PDF/EPUB Trouble Kindle ´ ✓ coinfetti.co trouble ebok, Trouble EpubI did not like this book It started slow but never picked up There was a few small action parts but they still did not make the book good and did not flow well I also disliked the main character He tried to pick fights and had almost no personality I also despised how unobservant and oblivious he was It was almost to the point of being unrealistic and while I will not spoil the book by providing examples it took him FOREVER to figure out the most obvious things I think this would have been interesting from Chay's view Plus while there was description there was almost always too much or none I had no idea what most of the chara
PDF/EPUB Trouble Kindle ´ ✓ coinfetti.co trouble ebok, Trouble EpubI admit I did have a little trouble getting through the first few pages while Mr Schmidt spent uite a bit if time describing the setting the Smith's home in the pretentious Blythbury by the Sea But then he got to work on creating his characters rather uickly Henry changes throughout the story who first idolized his bigoted deceased older brother and then slowly came to realize that he was not an American hero Although this title is realistic fiction the author weaved in a bit of history which I truly enjoyed This will make a great book club read for YA
