fernandie | 1 autre critique | Sep 15, 2022 | The text of this story fully immerses itself in the imaginations of two young brothers as they sneak up to the roof, board a contraption built from household junk, and fly to the Moon. The parents appear only briefly in the book's beginning, indulgent and know-it-all; but these are kids who Know What They Are About; they are planning a trip to the Moon, and they don't need their parents' help.

kylenapoli | 8 autres critiques | Sep 11, 2011 | This first novel kind of sputters into life about halfway through, only to peter out again disappointingly at the end. The main character is prickly and hard to get a handle on, but overall I would say that the character and the writing both reward patience. Pouncey's style is dryly humorous and she adroitly delineates the pleasures and pitfalls of life in a small college town. I happen to have lived in the area in which the fictional town and college of Darwin are set, and Pouncey's observations made me laugh out loud with recognition more than once.… (plus d'informations)
