I like how Beth writes "her heart out" for these young readers.

I really love the first one; lonely skating at dusk!! <br />Since Beth Kephart is a poet, I suppose her new book must be full of poetical, inspirational and imaginary proses!!

This island pond doesn’t mix with the sea. I had metal strap on roller skates as a kid in NYC, but I preferred skate boarding. Ice skating on a pond is even better.

I enjoyed your review too.<br /><br />Melissa, welcome to my blog and thank you! It’s nice to connect with you through Beth.<br /><br />Angie, Elisa does seem aware that she is special (thanks to for her dad and a teacher.) She didn’t seem like a girl who would want to be like everyone else. She is lonely and feels a special connection with Theo. The question is whether Theo is worthy of her affection. I’d love to hear what you think once you’ve read it.<br /><br />ACIL, so that’s why Beth’s name sounded so familiar to me. I hope you two reconnect through this post. I do like her blog very much too. Thanks for asking about our family in Chile. They live in Santiago so were unharmed; however there was damage to their farms in the earthquake zone. <br /><br />Barrie, thank you for hosting another book review club especially since you were behind on a deadline.

That's what our modern polity is today. 1/2 of this, plus 1/4 of that, plus 2/3 of this other. Beautiful. Wish him luck in learning Spanish. By the way, since I didn't know that your husband had relatives in Chile I feel compelled to ask about their well-being. Were they affected by the recent earthquake at all?<br /><br />Many thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-87869827010731884762010-03-05T01:49:41.712-05:002010-03-05T01:49:41.712-05:00What a beautiful review and interview.
