The main character grows up over the course of her summer spent in Canada, and I am happy with the way the book ended. ( ) Boys, Bears and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots by Abby McDonald was basically an average YA novel. A teenaged girl named Jenna seeks refuge with her godmother in British Columbia for one summer to avoid the impending domestic disaster of her parents' divorce. Life in the small Canadian town of Stillwater is much different from Jenna's New Jersey home, and not exactly what she expected. There are two major things I enjoyed about Jenna's story, which makes my rating 3/5 stars. First, I enjoyed reading Jenna's priorities shift as her worldview is opened to a new perspective. Getting away from the stress of everyday life and getting into nature can do that, and I feel the author portrayed her transformation pretty realistically. Second, I enjoyed how the author left the conclusion kind of open-ended. Yes, I had questions at the end - like, what's going to happen to Olivia? Was she on drugs? And will Jenna's parents really get divorced? But McDonald took a chance leaving the story hanging with loose strings, and I really felt like it worked in this instance. It captures the uncertainty of teenage life pretty well. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I have to say, I started this book three different times, and I just couldn't get into it. Perhaps it was just the wrong time for me and this book. It's done well at my library.nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Jenna may hail from the 'burbs of New Jersey, but Green Teen activism is her life. So when her mom suggests they spend the summer at Grandma's Florida condo, Jenna pleads instead to visit her hippie godmother, Susie, up in rural Canada. Jenna is psyched at the chance to commune with this nature she's heard about -- and the cute, plaidwearing boys she's certain must roam there. But after a few run-ins with local wildlife (from a larger-than-life moose to Susie's sullen Goth stepdaughter to a hot but hostile boy named Reeve), Jenna gets the idea that her long-held ideals, like vegetarianism and conservation, don't play so well with this population of real outdoorsmen. A dusty survival guide offers Jenna amusing tips on navigating the wilderness -- but can she learn to navigate the turns of her heart? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
