Reviews
"Jones has done a magnificent job of describing someone who is clinically depressed." -- School Library Journal "Jones creates a convincing character in Serena…Readers will be immediately sympathetic to Serena's plight and draw a sigh of relief when she finally gets the help she needs." -- BCCB "Serena's courage, perseverance, and hesitant relationships with friends, with Henry, and with new boyfriend Elijah make her a compelling character." -- Horn Book Magazine "The portrayal of Serena is strong, showing both her maturity in handling her family problems and her normal seventh-grade insecurities…A compassionate portrait of an African-American family coping with grief and mental illness." -- Kirkus Reviews "...a moving portrait of a girl forced by her mother's death and her father's incapacitating depression to accept adult household and child-raising responsibilities." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Traci L. Jones: Standing Against the Wind Winner of the Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe New Talent Award "The gripping story of a contemporary kid who wants to make her dreams come true."-Booklist "Patrice is a true hero, a child who has the inner strength to overcome roadblocks to success. Moving and thought-provoking."-Kirkus Reviews "Stories of hope, loyalty, and success such as this one are valuable."-School Library Journal "Patrice and Monty emerge as likable kids; readers can plug into their story at multiple levels."-The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "This excellent first novel is quite memorable, and readers will be drawn into Patrice's quiet but determined quest for a more promising future. A highly recommended purchase for libraries serving middle and high school students."-Voice of Youth Advocates Finding My Place "In the fall of 1975, Tiphanie Baker leaves her comfortable neighborhood and moves to a nearly all-white school in Denver's suburbs, where she 'never felt so Black--and so friendless--in my entire life' . . . A straightforward, well-told story with characters that ring true." -Publishers Weekly "The book portrays the mood and perceptions of the time. People of differing ethnicities and races are still becoming accustomed to living, working, and going to school together, as demonstrated by the awkwardness and uncertainty with which Tiphanie and her fellow students regard each other . . . Interesting and enjoyable." -School Library Journal, "Jones has done a magnificent job of describing someone who is clinically depressed." -- School Library Journal "Jones creates a convincing character in Serena...Readers will be immediately sympathetic to Serena's plight and draw a sigh of relief when she finally gets the help she needs." -- BCCB "Serena's courage, perseverance, and hesitant relationships with friends, with Henry, and with new boyfriend Elijah make her a compelling character." -- Horn Book Magazine "The portrayal of Serena is strong, showing both her maturity in handling her family problems and her normal seventh-grade insecurities...A compassionate portrait of an African-American family coping with grief and mental illness." -- Kirkus Reviews "...a moving portrait of a girl forced by her mother's death and her father's incapacitating depression to accept adult household and child-raising responsibilities." -- Publishers Weekly "The gripping story of a contemporary kid who wants to make her dreams come true." -- Booklist on Standing Against the Wind "Patrice is a true hero, a child who has the inner strength to overcome roadblocks to success.

- d***d (47)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThis book is fantastic! The quality is exactly as described, it’s in great condition, the appearance is clean and basically brand-new, and it came at an excellent price. This is a first-rate, five-star seller that deserves everyone's business. They packaged the book with extreme care, shipped it quickly, and communicated effectively throughout the process. This was an excellent buying experience and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller again.
- 0***1 (1587)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
