Recenze Short

Praise for Short New York Times Bestseller Short joins other middle-grade novels . . . in celebrating the transcendent power of theater for kids.- The New York Times Book Review Holly Goldberg Sloan is skilled at creating sympathetic and utterly charming young characters, and in Short she succeeds once again. . . . Sloan manages to deftly weave in tough topics like grief and identity with both the same humor and tenderness that made Counting By 7s such a hit. - Entertainment Weekly Sweet and uplifting. . . . It's refreshing that Julia doesn't mind being short and believes she's 'little, but big inside.' Her self-acceptance is inspiring and the joy she experiences in her foray into theater is irresistible. - Booklist , starred review A charming read with an important message that no matter one's stature, 'the way we move tells the world who we are.' - Kirkus Very funny. . . . Theater kids and fans of Tim Federle's 'Nate' books will love this. - School Library Journal Sloan again captures the authentic voice of a child dealing with weighty topics, including loss and identity, in a charming and often funny way. . . . A narrative filled with lighthearted and candid moments. - Publishers Weekly A joy to read.- School Library Connection This is . . . a jubilant story about the way a new context can give kids a whole different perspective on life and themselves, and readers feeling stuck in their roles will particularly appreciate the implication.- BCCB The funny narration is in Julia's rambling, middle-school voice, which allows readers to experience her emotions and maturation with her. . . . Highly recommended.- VOYA schovat popis
