The Orphan Band of Springdale di Anne Nesbet
I am a sucker for kids stories that feature labor organizing and a strong message against fascism.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.K, so. I wasn't sure about this book at first, but within ten to fifteen minutes I was hooked. The writing is really good and grabbed me. I was invested in the characters and I enjoyed the read. It was really well done. 4/5 stars.
Note: I received an ARC of this book at ALA Midwinter 2020.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.Fun! Reads like an old-fashioned movie serial. Set in 1914, when movies were very young and silent only. Darleen Darling, 12, has been a movie star for a few years, acting in films her family's studio produces. She does all the action, hanging off cliffs, tied to railroad tracks, etc. When her staged kidnapping--to drum up publicity for the studio--goes haywire and she's kidnapped FOR REAL, along with an heiress girl her age, the action ramps up off the screen too. It's really cute, the girls gain self-confidence and form a friendship as they try to outfox the shifty relatives who want a ransom for the heiress girl, who happens to look a lot like Darleen. Great look at the early history of silent moviemaking, when movies were still made in New Jersey and not in Hollywood California.… (altro)
