when i was little, i would get dropped off at the library in lieu of daycare, particularly in the summer when there were programs for kids without friends. so how, if i spent my childhood in a library, HOW did i miss out on so many classics of children’s literature?? just what was it i was reading?? (answer: mostly lois duncan) but this book is great, really. i have learned to respect the newbery award—except for the black pearl (which is just a newbery honor, but still) this book could be republished as an adult book and no one would notice. the writing is very good—she has a great ear for realistic dialogue and she builds tension very well, it is even an adult-book-length! and i was so pleased that the ending didn’t make everything all right. i wonder if the woodside library has summer programs for friendless kids. i may have to join them and take the lois duncan out of their hands.

this feels gauche, but when i announced i was starting a blog, everyone assured me this is a thing that is done. i’m not on facebook, i’ve never had a cellphone or listened to a podcast; so many common experiences of modern life are foreign to me, but i’m certainly struggling financially, so if this is how the world works now, i’d be foolish to pass it up. any support will be received with equal parts gratitude and bewilderment.
