Anyway, 11 yo Margot's?áfather and?áonly two friends are away all summer, and so, at loose ends, she finds herself making friends with Bernie, who knows about all the wonderful things one can find in the library, and who teaches her to ride a bike so she can explore further around NYC and discover that it's not such an awful place to live even when it's hot and muggy. ?áAnd yet, as her mother has been claiming for the last nine years, ?áthe apartment and rooftop can be comfortable, and there's no need to explore at all. even to walk down the four flights of stairs to the street.
Iow, Mother is much like me. ?áI'm fighting a desire to hermit, and as I make my apartment more and more comfortable, and if I had a rooftop for a garden, it's ever more difficult. ?áWhen I first heard about this book I hoped that reading it would be a bit biblio-therapeutic for me, but it's geared towards children and it never uses any word like agoraphobia.
So, reading it from child's point of view: ?áGood book. ?áMargot is lucky to find Bernie, but she quickly proves to be able to learn how to be a good friend, and, though it takes a little longer, she learns to appreciate her mom just the way she is, too. ?á
