American Library Association Book Pick for 2005: Selected As One of the Best Books for Young Adults., [Starred Review:] Smart and determined, Chanda is a character whom readers come to care for and believe in, in spite of her almost impossible situation. The details of sub-Saharan African life are convincing and smoothly woven into this moving story of poverty and courage, but the real insight for readers will be the appalling treatment of the AIDS victims. Strong language and frank description are appropriate to the subject matter., Brings the despair, overwhelming poverty and the impact of AIDS/HIV to life... strength of human character when faced with adversity., [Starred review:] neither sentimental nor graphics close the personal struggle... The message about overcoming ignorance and shame and confronting the facts is ever-present, but the tense story and the realistic characters -- caring, mean, funny, angry, kind and cruel -- will keep kids reading and break the silence about the tragedy., A searing book on an important subject... there is not a maudlin moment in the novel, just genuine grief and understanding as the epidemic assumes some of its many human faces., Chanda is a likeable and well-written character... A great choice for learning about other cultures and about the AIDS crisis., By focusing on Chanda's personal struggle with what Stephen Lewis, UN special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, calls a "sinister, invisible poison," the novel demonstrates that love, loyalty, family, and friendship can flourish in an open and truthful atmosphere once the destructive influence of secrecy has been conquered. With well-paced, robust prose and well-cadenced dialogue, the novel provides valuable insights into the role religion, superstition, culture and customs play in the daily lives of Bonangians. Chanda's struggles put a face to the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS and provide a gripping and heart-wrenching reading experience designed for mature readers. Younger readers may need some preparation to deal with the sensitive and complex topics the novel addresses. Rape, prostitution, adultery, sexual abuse, HIV/AIDS and other difficult subjects are presented in a matter-of-fact fashion and lend credibility and honesty to this discussion of a modern epidemic., Stratton brings the despair, overwhelming poverty and the impact of AIDS/HIV to life while at the same time depicting the strength of human character when faced with adversity., [Starred review:] The tense story and the realistic characters... will keep kids reading and break the silence about the tragedy., Well-paced, robust prose... put a face to the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS and provide a gripping and heart-wrenching reading experience., Death and dying and survivors... Through all the adversity, Chanda never lacks hope, and she never stops dreaming., A searing book on an important subject... there is not a maudlin moment in the novel, just genuine grief and understanding as the epidemic assumes some of its many human faces. The strong, respectful writing makes this crucial and broadly relevant story unfailingly human., It is about death and dying and survivors -- those who are left to cope with the vast loss of losing loved ones... Through all the adversity, Chanda never lacks hope, and she never stops dreaming., Starred review: A character whom readers come to care for and believe in, in spite of her almost impossible situation., American Library Association Book Pick for 2005: selected as one of the Best Books for Young Adults.

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!
