I think I'm done with Nicole Krauss. This is my second foray into her fiction, and though her prose is peppered with beauty and poetry, the plot and narration is so affected that no amount of artistry in language can overcome the eye rolling that accompanies her stilted and clunky plot and character arcs.
Great House boasts some interesting characters, each overlapping one another's chronology and connected through the possession of a large desk that was looted by the Nazis during Wo More...

This is a cute chapter book for kids around ages seven to nine. It tells about things Huey does: eats fish and mushrooms at a restaurant, makes banana spaghetti for his mom, makes animal tracks outside and tricking his brother into thinking there is a zebra on the loose, walking to Africa (but only getting as far as the park.)

Stories told from the point of view of Julian's little brother, Huey. Love getting different P.O.V.s!

Huey is an adorable African American boy who uses his imagination to get the best out of his young life. His parents have clear rules, and Huey is learning to be a conscientious young man, but one who knows how to smile and have fun. Many of the lessons he learns were well timed with my nearly four-year-old son's level of maturity. The chapters are a little long for the younger age set, but overall, Huey is a great character for young children.a
