Gravity Is Bringing Me Down di Wendelin Van Draanen

Leda is having a tough day - gravity is tripping her up and bringing her down. After school, Leda's mom brings her to her "happy place" (the Discover - Learn - Play Children's Museum), where Leda climbs, bounces, slides, and even "flies" in the rocket simulator. Equilibrium restored, Leda heads home in a better mood, and after dinner, gravity helps her fall into bed.

Compelling.… (altro)

Sammy Keyes and the Skeleton Man di Wendelin Van Draanen

plot was good and it was ok when character was interacting with adults. Felt it fell apart a bit when she was interacting with her peers, dialogue not believable
