  • all iall a good book

    a little bit over the heads of the teens who had it for a reading group project

  • Pointless & Plotless

    No formal plot. Juanita sat by the window and wondered. Alice was abused and looked out the window, Rafaela drank papaya juice - only time she is mentioned. Why Rafaela? Why? Absolutely sucks. Just saying

  • Rich read k

    Such a rich experience and treat to read Ciserno’s work. Her short stories of childhood are anything but trite and speak to the real complexity of being a human being. Really glad to know this book is taught in schools.
