Overview / 简介: |
Oh, BRRRRROTHER!
Hi. I'm Julie Welsh. My nine-year-old brother is always cooking up schemes...and I get blamed. Because I'm older. Eleven, to be exact. But Frankie has his good points too, as I told Mrs. Kaplan, my 89-year-ald pen pal, who lives in Kansas. I write Mrs. Kaplan about everything. Even my secrets. She was the first one I told about my juvenile arthritis. Mrs. Kaplan understands everything. She has arthritis too. I was feeling tired and achy all the time, and discouraged. Then Mrs. Kaplan gave me ideas about running for student council, and though I could barely lift my legs, Frankie made me want to compete in a fun run. Just when I thought my life was a permanent time-out, you'll never believe what happened....

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 4-6-Fifth-grader Julie writes a series of letters to her pen pal, an elderly woman in a convalescent home, as part of a class project. Shortly after the correspondence begins, the child is diagnosed with pediatric rheumatoid arthritis, yet is committed to running in a fund-raising race and getting on with her life. Through her letters, readers glean information about Mrs. Kaplan, learning that the lonely 89-year-old has terminal cancer. Although the outcomes are predictable, the incidents are treated with humor and sensitivity. This popular and prolific author has crafted a well-written examination of courage, dignity, and determination at both ends of the age spectrum. The antics of Julie and her mischievous younger brother add enough lightness to make this a quick, but meaningful read.
