From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 4-6-- Clever, tenacious, ten-year-old Maxine is an inventor of several things that almost work. From the outset, her lofty goal is to create something that will help improve her younger brother's heart condition. Since she needs a partner for a contest she wants to enter, she befriends Toni, a lonely girl with a history of personal problems. In spite of the underlying seriousness of Wat's health concerns and Toni's family problems, the light writing style and Maxine's constant resourcefulness keep this contemporary story upbeat and humorous. Maxine is characterized as singularly devoted to her mission; Toni is convincingly described as a child distracted by her home situation. The adults are less-clearly developed. Although the ending is a little too neat for plausibility, the plot is easy to follow and develops at a crisp pace. Overall, the humor and Maxine's appealing personality will make this a satisfying choice for young readers. --Marilyn Long Graham, Lee County Library System, Fort Myers, FL

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| As a personal friend of David, I would truthfully express my synopsis of his book....truthfully...this is one of the greatest books written for young adults. His theme of triumph and generosity bring this book way above others. Yet again, David has captured the minds of young adults in this book. 5 stars all the way. |
