A sweet look through the eyes of Keats, a boy who considers himself invisible, until "The Manny" enters his and his four sisters' lives, bringing life and laughter into their quiet world. ( ) Adorable. And of course the 'twist' ending was telegraphed from the very beginning. Not sure who the intended audience is - the main character is a kid, and it's easy enough for kids to read, and clean - but it just vibes being a light read for adults. The kid's voice is a bit impplausible, too. But I really did like it and would unhesitatingly recommend it to those who are already considering it. And I will check to see if the author wrote anything else. tx for the rec., smalls Narrated by Daryl Anderson. Keats is the kind of boy at school who gets teased by the class bully. He's among the shortest boys in the class and he's constantly in the academic shadow of his older sister Lulu. But inspiration comes with the Manny, a male nanny Keats' parents have just hired. The Manny is a youthful, fun presence in the family (although Lulu compiles a notebook of what she considers Manny's faux pas, therefore "the Manny files). Manny encourages Keats to "be interesting." Unspoken, but implied, Manny is gay; he and Keats' uncle develop an affectionate relationship. It's uncertain if Keats is gay but either way, Manny proves to be the male role model he needs right now. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Manny /ma•ne/ n A male nanny or babysitter, known to be handsome, fabulous, and a lover of eighties music “Be interesting.” That’s what the manny tells Keats Dalinger the first time he packs Keats’ school lunch, but for Keats that’s not always the easiest thing to do. Even though he’s the only boy at home, it always feels like no one ever remembers him. His sisters are everywhere! Lulu is the smart one, India is the creative one, and Belly . . . well, Belly is the naked one. And the baby. School isn’t much better. There, he’s the shortest kid in the entire class. But now the manny is the Dalinger’s new babysitter, and things are starting to look up. It seems as though the manny always knows the right thing to do. Not everyone likes the manny as much as Keats does, however. Lulu finds the manny embarrassing, and she’s started to make a list of all the crazy things that he does, such as serenading the kids with “La Cucaracha” from the front yard or wearing underwear on his head or meeting the school bus with Belly, dressed as limo drivers. Keats is worried. What if Lulu’s “Manny Files” makes his parents fire the manny? Who will teach him how to be interesting then? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
