So many memories! ( ) I read this book in a single day. It's like a trip in a time machine back to your first love. I couldn't put it down. The kids are sweet, smart, misfits who find each other by accident and get caught up in a wonderful rush of innocent first love while the girl is trapped in a house where love has gone really wrong. Her boyfriend and his family are her only escape. The whole story is bittersweet but wonderful.
I have never seen anything quite like “Eleanor & Park.” Rainbow Rowell’s first novel for young adults is a beautiful, haunting love story — but I have seen those. It’s set in 1986, and God knows I’ve seen that. There’s bullying, sibling rivalry, salvation through music and comics, a monstrous stepparent — and I know, we’ve seen all this stuff. But you’ve never seen “Eleanor & Park.” Its observational precision and richness make for very special reading. Is contained inHas as a supplementAwardsDistinctionsNotable Lists
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits--smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. No library descriptions found. |
