Recommended Ages: Gr. 2-4 Plot Summary: Yasmin has a goal to read one book every day, so it's a good thing she has Book Uncle on the corner. He has a little lending library and he likes to give "the right book on the right day." So when he hands Yasmin a book and she can't figure out why it's the right book, she's frustrated. Then, Book Uncle is told he's not allowed to be on the street with a permit anymore, even though he's not selling anything. Can Yasmin find a way to get him back?

It seems like it was written for teachers to use in class rather than for a kid to pick up on their own.

Every day, nine-year-old Yasmin borrows a book from Book Uncle, a retired teacher who has set up a free lending library next to her apartment building. But when the mayor tries to shut down the rickety bookstand, Yasmin has to take her nose out of her book and do something. But what can she do? The local elections are coming up but she's just a kid. She can't even vote! Still, Yasmin has friends -- her best friend, Reeni, and Anil, who even has a black belt in karate. And she has grownup family and neighbors who, no matter how preoccupied they are, care about what goes on in their community. Then Yasmin remembers a story that Book Uncle selected for her. It's an old folktale about a flock of doves trapped in a hunter's net. The birds realize that if they all flap their wings at the same time, they can lift the net and fly to safety, where they seek the help of a friendly mole who chews a hole in the net and sets them free. And so the children get to work, launching a campaign to make sure the voices of the community are heard. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

A second reading, a second feeling about it. I really appreciate the direct action Yasmin takes to improve her community. I like the subject of elections and amplifying your voice to have your issues heard. Good read! ( )
