Uniform Title: Hello, universe

Content: In dem 2018 mit der Newbery Medal ausgezeichneten Kinderroman gerät der schüchterne Virgil (11) und sein Meerschweinchen Gulliver in eine gefährliche Lage, als sie in einem alten Brunnen mitten im Wald feststecken. Nach verschiedenen Verwicklungen gelingt es seiner Bekannten Kaori (12), ihrer kleinen Schwester Gen und Virgils heimlichem Schwarm Valencia ihn zu befreien und seinem Erzfeind Chet eine Lektion zu erteilen. - Die junge US-Autorin mit philippinischen Wurzeln scheint in ihrem 3. Kinderbuch autobiografische Details verarbeitet zu haben, wenn sie z.B. Virgils weise Oma alte Mythen von den Philippinen erzählen lässt, die auf geheimnisvolle Weise sein Leben beeinflussen. Die differenzierte Darstellung der gehörlosen Valencia und der als Hellseherin tätigen Kaori samt ihrer munteren Schwester Gen überzeugt ebenso wie die des bulligen Jungen Chet, der die eigenen Schwächen hinter Grobheiten gegenüber seinen Mitschülern verbirgt. Leser/-innen ab 11, aber durchaus auch Erwachsene werden dieses Buch genauso wie Palacios "Wunder" lieben. Für alle Bestände nachdrücklich empfohlen. Ab 11 J

Uniform Title: You go first

Content: Charlotte und Ben haben viel gemeinsam: Sie sind hochbegabt, haben Sorgen um ihre Eltern, sind nicht gerade beliebt und versuchen die Schule ohne allzu viele Kratzer zu überstehen. Kennengelernt haben sie sich beim Online Scrabble. Und ohne sich jemals gesehen zu haben - schließlich liegen zwischen ihren Wohnorten mehr als 2.000 km - erzählen sich Charlotte und Ben am Telefon ganz viel über sich selbst. Allerdings hat das, was sie sich erzählen, nicht immer etwas mit der Wahrheit zu tun. Sie nutzen die Chance, die Person zu sein, die sie gern wären. Dabei merken sie, dass der zu sein, der man ist, viel besser ist, als der zu sein, den andere aus einem machen wollen.

Content: "Eine dreistimmige Lesung so kraftvoll und emotional wie ein Raketenstart Die USA fiebern dem Start des Spaceshuttles Challenger entgegen. Gleichzeitig besuchen drei Geschwister in Delaware, Texas, die 7. Klasse und sind auf ihren eigenen Umlaufbahnen unterwegs: Der zwölfjährige Fitch verbringt jeden Nachmittag mit Flipperspielen und kämpft gegen sein explosives Temperament. Bird, seine Zwillingsschwester, träumt davon, die erste Shuttle-Kommandantin der NASA zu werden. Und ihr dreizehnjähriger Bruder Cash droht, ein zweites Mal in der 7. Klasse durchzurasseln. Als die Raumfähre in den Himmel abhebt und sich die Katastrophe ereignet, verändert sich das Leben der drei und bringt sie auf unerwartete Weise zusammen, enger als je zuvor. Erin Entrada Kellys neuer Roman zeigt, dass manche sozialen, familiären und emotionalen Kämpfe zeitlos und Träume unendlich sind."

All Sol and Ming have is each other and their stories. Both girls inherited a lively imagination from their mother, Mei-Mei. When she was alive, Mei-Mei wove enthralling tales about her magical sister, Jove, who traveled around the world.

Kelly (Blackbird Fly, 2015) returns to southern Louisiana in her second book. Twelve-year-old Sol has no family left except for her youngest sister, Ming. Soon after they immigrated to a small Louisiana town, their father returned to the Philippines, abandoning the sisters with their unhappy stepmother, Vea. Sol imagines herself and Ming as princesses fighting an evil dragon in order to endure their stepmother's verbal and physical abuse, their subsidized apartment building becoming a fairy-tale tower. She and her best friend, Manny, befriend a white girl from the other side of town, and Sol begins to rely less on her stories while Ming desperately holds on. When Ming announces that an aunt will save the sisters from their evil stepmother, Sol can't bear to tell Ming that the aunt doesn't exist. Always the strong older sister, she desperately searches for a solution before her heated relationship with Vea explodes. Kelly deftly captures the tumultuous emotions of a preteen who is forced to grow up faster than other girls her age. The book focuses mostly on Sol's inner struggles, however, and it lacks the momentum to turn its quiet characters into a full-blown tale that effectively handles the class and race issues that it touches upon. A promising story that doesn't quite find its footing. (Fiction. 10-14) COPYRIGHT(2015) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. "

Content: " When Lalani Sarita's mother falls ill with an incurable disease, Lalani embarks on a dangerous journey across the sea . Life is hard on the island of Sanlagita. To the west looms a vengeful mountain, one that threatens to collapse and bury the village at any moment. To the north, a dangerous fog swallows sailors who dare to venture out, looking for a more hospitable land. The women live in fear of the deadly mender's disease, spread by the sharp needles they use to repair the men's fishing nets. When Lalani Sarita's mother pricks her finger and falls ill, she gives twelve-year-old Lalani an impossible task - leave Sanlagita and find the riches of the legendary Mount Isa, which towers on an island to the north. But generations of men and boys have died on the same quest. How can a timid young girl survive the epic tests of the archipelago?"

Content: Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from May 27, 2019 A fantasy inspired by Filipino folklore, this vibrant story by Newbery Medalist Entrada ( Hello, Universe ) follows Lalani Sarita, 12, on her harrowing quest to save her mother and her island, Sanlagita, from the horrible fates for which they seem destined. When Lalani’s father perished after being selected to sail to Mount Isa, “where all of life’s good fortunes were said to be,” Lalani and her mother were forced to live with her frightening uncle and his cruel son. Now, with her mother ill and her island suffering from a drought that has killed off medicinal plants, Lalani faces an impossible quest: sailing across the sea that has taken the lives of countless men, including her father, in search of something that might heal her mother and reveal what’s really beyond their small island home. Entrada intersperses second-person narratives that describe the mountain’s many fantastical creatures (“Imagine you are a weeping loset”), weaving adventure and magic into the story. Unlikely but determined heroine Lalani is lovably loyal, kind-hearted, and optimistic even as she faces unspeakable dangers, and her relentless spirit makes her a worthy protagonist in this triumphant tale about fighting for the people one loves and staying true to oneself. Ages 8–12. Agent: Sara Crowe, Pippin Properties. "

Content: " Funny and poignant, Newbery Medalist and New York Times bestseller Erin Entrada Kelly's national bestseller You Go First is an exploration of family, bullying, word games, art, and the ever-complicated world of middle school friendships. In a starred review, School Library Journal wrote that Erin Entrada Kelly can capture moments of tween anguish with searing honesty. Twelve-year-old Charlotte Lockard and eleven-year-old Ben Boxer are separated by more than a thousand miles. On the surface, their lives seem vastly different Charlotte lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, while Ben is in the small town of Lanester, Louisiana. Charlotte wants to be a geologist and keeps a rock collection in her room. Ben is obsessed with Harry Potter, presidential history, and recycling. But the two have more in common than they think. They're both highly gifted. They're both experiencing family turmoil. And they both sit alone at lunch. During the course of one week, Charlotte and Ben friends connected only by an online Scrabble game will intersect in unexpected ways as they struggle to navigate the turmoil of middle school. The New York Times-bestselling novel You Go First reminds us that no matter how hard it is to keep our heads above troubled water, we never struggle alone. Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly writes with an authentic, humorous, and irresistible voice. This engaging and character-driven story about growing up and finding your place in the world is for fans of Rebecca Stead and Rita Williams-Garcia. "

Content: Biographisches: " New York Times –" Rezension(2): "School Library Journal (starred review) :Kelly knows her audience well and uses Ben and Charlotte's alternating points of view to capture moments of tween anguish with searing honesty. ...Heartfelt and hopeful, this novel will encourage young readers to offer their hand in friendship to kids who, just like them, might be struggling." Rezension(3): "Kirkus Reviews (starred review) :Readers will undoubtedly see themselves in these pages. ...A well-crafted, entertaining call for middle schoolers to find their voices and remain accountable in shaping their own social spheres." Rezension(4): "Shelf Awareness (starred review):A delicate look at friendship, bullying and coming of age. ...You Go First is a brilliant follow-up to Entrada Kelly's Newbery winner Hello, Universe, and challenges readers to rethink the rules of friendship."

Rezension(6): "Bulletin of the Center for Children’" Rezension(7): "Providence Journal:Written by the recent winner of the Newbery Award, this novel speaks to the many kids who find themselves lonely in the midst of middle school." Rezension(8): "Cleveland Plain Dealer:Newbery Medal winner Kelly is spot-on in her depiction of isolation and self-doubt middle schoolers who don't fit in can feel. She gives Charlotte and Ben's e-friendship a contemporary hopefulness."

Charlotte's father is in the hospital, and her best friend is drifting toward a new social circle where Charlotte isn't welcome. Struggling to fit in at a new school, Ben's parents announce their divorce. The children's game postings evolve into a friendship by phone-they live in different states-that reassures them they aren't alone. Kelly ( Hello, Universe ) knows her audience well and uses Ben and Charlotte's alternating points of view to capture moments of tween anguish with searing honesty. Foreshadowing facts lead each of Charlotte's chapters and information about sea stars is perfectly incorporated in a powerful scene about bullying. Kelly takes the concerns of young readers' seriously while reassuring them that, with time and resilience, they will eventually be okay. Ben and Charlotte's gradual understanding of the changing forces that affect their lives is reinforced through gentle pacing and careful plotting: a Robert Frost quote is strategically placed so that when revealed in its entirety, both the protagonists-and readers-are ready to understand it.

Suddenly, their intermittent Scrabble banter becomes an unexpected lifeline. Pennsylvanian Charlotte's rock collections, incessant anagramming, and deep-delving thought spirals charm readers instantly,Louisianan Ben's sputtering, encyclopedic knowledge of presidential history, Ravenclaw blanket, relentless recycling statistics, and stick-to-it optimism couldn't be sweeter. Guileless and earnest, these two kids seem poised for inevitable heartbreak. Charlotte can't face her lifelong best friend, who suddenly thinks she's a parasite, or her father, who's recovering in the ICU after a heart attack. Ben can't understand his parents' marriage's devolution into a divorce or the ridicule his student council campaign incites. Catastrophe looms and builds through the book, the reckoning of a single week that culminates with a crucial convergence of the Scrabble friends' virtual world with their real one. Charlotte's and Ben's alternating first-person accounts of their humiliations and struggles induce a constricting tightness in readers' chests. Their unspoken feelings and worries (which appear in quavering italics) weigh heavily. Readers will undoubtedly see themselves in these pages. Charlotte and Ben are both depicted with pale skin and dark hair on the cover,their respective ethnicities go unmentioned, and their supporting cast is a diverse one.A well-crafted, entertaining call for middle schoolers to find their voices and remain accountable in shaping their own social spheres.

Tautly plotted, the narrative alternates points of view between 12-year-old Charlotte in the Philadelphia suburbs and 11-year-old Ben in Louisiana, who share a love of words and play a running game of online Scrabble. During one tumultuous week each faces grave challenges: Charlotte can’t face her father’s heart attack and struggles as her former best friend shifts into a more popular clique, and loner Ben denies the impact of his parents’ divorce and plunges himself into an out-of-character student council election. Kelly balances the humiliations of middle school—the desperation over where to sit at lunch, bullying, and social jockeying—with real kindness,each protagonist believably becomes more honest and forms new connections. Ultimately, Kelly crafts an incisive portrait of friendship and resilience. Ages 8–12. Agent: Sara Crowe, Pippin Properties . "
