All-season Edie

Lyon, Annabel

Publié en 2008

Livre
Fiction
Roman

Grades 5-7. Wry, fast, and funny, 11-year-old Edie’s first-person, present-tense narrative is wicked about her obsessive rivalry with her cool older sister, Dexter. But along with all the bitchiness about what to wear and what to say at home, in the mall, and at school, there is also family sorrow about Grandpa, who is struggling after a minor stroke. Edie wonders if learning witchcraft would help her cast a spell to save Grandpa—as well as exert some control over Dexter. Set in a Vancouver suburb during the course of a year, this debut children’s book by an author best known for adult short stories gets the preteen voice perfectly—from anger arising from family tensions to the worry about Grandpa and the trivia (Edie is much too cool to use a word like cool). The episodes reach a satisfying climax as summer comes round again, and things do change.
