   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  themoonwholistens | Aug 31, 2020 |   It is 1933 and Elsie Mae is hoping that what she has to say will make her a hero and bring her some notoriety. Everything she thinks and does is in that pursuit because she is sure that only then will she finally be noticed by her family. Elsie is a girl who loves and respects the Okefenokee Swamp, and her grandparents and uncles who call it home. The descriptions of life in The Swamp are pure magic and if you close your eyes you can see and hear the sounds and calls inherent in nature. She wants to save this magical place where she has spent the past six summers from the bulldozers which are threatening the way of life who inhabit the Swamp. While the book is definitely written for a young audience it should not be overlooked by adults. There are so many important messages and moral attributes that are seamlessly woven into the story. It was a fun, humorous and interesting read. Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Jabberwocky for an ARC (  ) kimkimkim | Aug 21, 2017 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

From the award-winning author of This Journal Belongs to Ratchet, comes a sweet and uplifting coming of age tale about friendship, sensitivity, and the importance of protecting our planet, making this the perfect growing up book for girls. Elsie Mae is pretty sure this'll be the best summer ever. She gets to explore the cool, quiet waters of the Okefenokee Swamp around her grandparents' house with her new dog, Huck, and she's written a letter to President Roosevelt that she's confident will save the swamp from a shipping company and make her a major hometown hero. Then, news reaches Elsie Mae of some hog bandits stealing from swamper families, and she sees another opportunity to make her family proud while waiting to hear back from the White House. But when her cousin Henry James, who dreams of one day becoming a traveling preacher like his daddy, shows up and just about ruins her investigation with his "Hallelujahs," Elsie Mae will learn the hard way what it really means to be a hero.

"Now that I had experience being a hero, as good as it felt, it didn't seem all that important to be one anymore."
WooOOAaaAHHhh!!!!
I am amazed at this book.
First of all, the theme and the moral of this book is my favorite thing here. It's mostly about being yourself and fitting in, in a world that pushes you to do otherwise. It's about finding yourself, finding a place (or a person) to call home, hope and friendship.
The plot may not be for me but I have to commend it because it is very unique, which also makes it very intriguing. It would be a very good read for middle grade readers, and as well as for people who are looking for a young, easy, unique read.
The character depth and the character development are uh-mai-zing. You can see just how Elsie Mae's view and perspective of everything changed from the very first page.
This made reading the last few chapters a bit nostalgic feeling.
I have to keep saying unique because that is what this is. It just really is so very unique.
This book is something that I needed in my life right now and I definitely recommend to every teenager out there in the world who could possibly be reading this.
