I find the stories of the child to be a little jumpy. The story somewhat follows a story line but jumps way too much for my taste. One minute she's walking with her dad the next its something about a possum and then fireflies. Sorry but I do like me books to be in some sort of order. Not going on my favorites list.Recensionen skriven för LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I really enjoyed this book, it made me really nostalgic for my childhood. The main character, Squid, is right in the middle of childhood adolescence. She realizes that she is growing up and that this will be her last summer as a kid. I think readers around the age of 12 would really enjoy the book and relate to Squids thoughts on growing up. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Part Huck Finn, part Little Rascals, part Catcher in the Rye, Will Zink, in his first book for the slightly younger crowd, spins a girl's coming-of-age tale unlike any other. In refreshing departure from wizards, vampires, and zombies, Wild Grapes is an innovative, reality-based epic about friendship, hope, and the small, precious details of summertime. Geared for the eleven-and-up audience, this title can be equally enjoyed by folks of all ages. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

For those seeking a nostalgic trip back to the halcyon days of youth or for those still enjoying those happy golden years, “Wild Grapes” by Will Zink is sure to satisfy. The old-fashioned atmosphere of the story belies its contemporary setting, evoking sentimental nostalgia with which every reader can identify. “Wild Grapes” reads like a diary as Squid’s first-person account presents the musings of a 12-year-old girl coming of age and beginning to feel the first pangs of young womanhood. Parts of her story are hyperbolized and made into tall tales, which are more humorous given the Beverly Hillbillies dialect that continues throughout. The only obvious drawback is the general lack of conflict and the use of “‘em” (abbreviated from “them”) for “‘im” (him), as well as a few spelling errors. By and large, however, “Wild Grapes” is a sweetly innocent yet at times startlingly clear depiction of a small-town country childhood on the cusp of maturity. ( )
