   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   dneirick | May 8, 2019 |  From a boy meeting his grandfather for the first time to a child interviewing potential stepfathers, each story explores a different aspect of interpersonal relationships. While some stories focus on bullying, abandonment, abuse, and neglect, others explore acceptance, compassion, and discovery. Librarians will find that these stories provide a nice introduction to Avi’s writing for young readers.

(  ) eduscapes | Jun 7, 2016 | Being fairly short stories—I read the whole book in about 90 minutes, they don’t have long or complex plot development. Some of them even have an open-ended finish, leaving it up to the reader to interpret what might happen to the characters. None of the stories is particularly gripping or exciting, so this might not be the book for reluctant readers, but it is a definite option for those who like interesting, complex characters. Possible Objectionable Material: Broken families, theft, fighting, PTSD. Who Might Like This Book: Although it reads as being primarily for boys, there’s no real reason that girls wouldn’t enjoy it, too. There are elements of parental relationships that are universal, regardless of gender, and there are strong mothers in several of the stories. The suggested age range seems appropriate. This review is also posted at http://biblioquacious.blogspot.com/2016/04/fathers-sons-and-grandsons.html Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC.

One of the most beloved writers of our time presents seven short stories exploring the vital ties between fathers and sons. Luke sees the ghost of his father but can't figure out what Dad wants him to do. Paul takes a camping trip with the grandfather he's just met and discovers what lies behind the man's erratic behavior. Ryan has some surprising questions when he interviews his prospective stepfather for the job. In a compellingly honest collection of stories, multiple-award-winning author Avi introduces seven boys--boys with fathers at home and boys whose fathers have left, boys who spend most of their time with their grandfathers and boys who would rather spend time with anyone but the men in their lives. By turns heartbreaking, hopeful, and funny, the stories show us boys seeking acceptance, guidance, or just someone to look up to. Each one shines a different light on the question "What is the most important thing a father can do for his son?" Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
