Summary: Moving and Beautiful
Comment: I was prepared for another depressing teen angst tale, but instead found myself deeply touched by this book. It is both a wonderful coming of age tale and the story of a family overcoming tragedy and learning to face grief. It is also a fascinating window into the culture of Guam.
Few Americans will be familiar with many aspects of the daily lives of Isobel, her family and her neighbors, but there is a universal experience here for any reader.
Beautifully written in a style reminiscent of Karen Hesse's Into the Dust--not poetry, but yet with a wonderful internal rhythm of its own-- readers who pick up this book are in for a treat. This is young adult fiction as it was meant to be.

Summary: A little less than OK.....
Comment: i personally didn't really like this book. i was even willing to put up with the fact that the longest chapter was all of THREE whole pages. what really made me dislike it is that there is no actuall plot to it. each chapter tells it's own story, yet you can't do it properly in half a page. when i finished this book, i didn't feel like i knew the charecter like i usually do. over all, very disapointing.

Summary: not bad...
Comment: This book had a very slow beginning, so it was kind of hard to stick with it. However, about 3/4 through it, the plot developed and I was completly glued to it until the end. Basically, this story is about a girl named Isabel taking on her mother's responsibilities and dealing with the average teen's troubles along with it. It's a sad, but touching story that any teenage girl might want to read over the summer. I wouldn't highly recommend it though.
