I could tell she was supposed to be quirky and funny, but it didn't always play that way for me Still an enjoyable read, just not as good as I wanted it to be.

After the middle, this book started to drag a lot for me, and I found myself forcing myself to see it through. The big issue is that Julia has a great voice, but after a while it got tiresome--mostly because Julia spends most of the book in her head.
Also, I realize this isn't the story Sloan set out to tell, but I would have probably liked this a lot better if Julia had actually interacted with some 2. Also, I realize this isn't the story Sloan set out to tell, but I would have probably liked this a lot better if Julia had actually interacted with some kids her own age so I got to see her actually being a kid instead of the mini-adult she thought she was.

Discouraged about her lack of stature and grieving the loss of her beloved dog, Ramon, Julia isn't looking forward to her summer. Her life changes dramatically no pun intended when her mother signs her and younger brother, Randy up as Munchkins in a semi-professional production of The Wizard of Oz.
During the course of the nearly daily rehearsals Julia is introduced to the world of theatre and a quirky cast of Endearing novel seen through the eyes of the oh so charming preteen Julia Marks. During the course of the nearly daily rehearsals Julia is introduced to the world of theatre and a quirky cast of characters who leave a lasting impact on her young life. Had I read this as a child it would have undoubtedly been one of my favorites. I've long loved the theatre and would have enjoyed Julia's astute, raw observations about the world around her.
Sep 02, Linda Bargas rated it it was amazing. A bit off topic for a book review is why libraries and librarians are so important. Sure buying e-books and online can be cheap and delivered straight to your hands, but a library is a special place. You can flip through books in a brick and mortar store, but sometimes the thought of shelling out hard-earned money for what's in your hands just changes your mind for you.
But libraries? Browse the shelves. Any of them. ALL of them. You can widen your genre or stick to your comfort zone -- all at A bit off topic for a book review is why libraries and librarians are so important. You can widen your genre or stick to your comfort zone -- all at no cost -- the world is wide open to you in a library.
So, I give a standing ovation for this book, which has reinforced my never ending love of libraries as did Inkheart It's a book I wouldn't have purchased for myself short holly goldberg sloan pdf free download store or online, but once I started reading an advance copy from a librarian friend, I fell in love with it and didn't want it to end. If I didn't know any better, Holly Goldberg Sloan went back in time with her current writing prowess and wrote this when she was a preteen.
She gets it. She IS the voice of Julia as a kid growing up, just trying to make sense of the world as she knows it. Not just the short kid, Julia also appears to have some learning differences. I fell in love with all the characters, found myself routing for opening night, and was taken aback when it didn't all fall into place near the end as you may think a YA novel would.
Sloan worked this well into the storyline and I enjoyed how she recovered it. Pulling in many aspects of life for young readers that helps them deal with family, love, death, friendships, new experiences, and more, Sloan does a great job of explaining unknown terms young adults and non-theater readers, short holly goldberg sloan pdf free download.
She even glosses over terms that young adults just don't seem to need to know yet. It's a young adult book for all ages. I'm definitely going to search the shelves for more of her books!

I thought this was super. I loved the frank age-appropriate voice of Julia as she observed the world around her and did not get everything. It's tricky to write a child character who's not too preciously precocious and savvy, but can talk about feelings, and I think Sloan did an amazing job of it.
