There is such variety in the way the author tells the story, and it all underscores the term "criss cross" - coincidences, crossed paths, crossed wires, ships that pass in the night, etc. How can two people be thinking the same thing at the same time and not know that the other is on their wavelength, even though they are so close they could touch? <BR/><BR/>I think I will make this an option for my literature circles this year. It is realistic fiction, is written in bite-sized pieces that middle school readers appreciate, and it will allow my students to challenge the notion of a plot diagram that I wave in front of them so often!Aunt Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17951074695817950604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022775613667933377.post-51544098392873948792007-08-16T20:47:00.000-04:002007-08-16T20:47:00.000-04:00Interesting to hear a young person's review.
