Title: Disappointing
Review: I was disappointed by this book, despite the wonderful jacket. I expected to feel close to Dovey Coe, to understand her from the inside out. Instead I found the narration distancing, and I never really got caught up in her story. There are other great books for children that also have a strong voice, but that are somehow truer in their emotional portrayal of their charismatic, spunky narrators.
Is the review positive or negative?
