However, I just wanted to say that "The house waited like a scraped knee" sounds to me like the house is painful for her, as if she is walking towards it and she can feel it sting because it brings her bad memories.<br /><br />No clue if that's accurate, but that's what it makes me think of nonetheless :) This is truly a wonderful book.Javierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04104141661129565796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-14857028846400482592010-01-04T23:45:20.505-05:002010-01-04T23:45:20.505-05:00Well, aside from the weird scraped knee quote, I t...Well, aside from the weird scraped knee quote, I think it sounds like a great book. I need to read a couple of young adult books for the twentyten challenge, and this is not a genre I usually dabble in. This one might fit the bill.<br />Thanks for the great review. I sure remember those nightmare middle school friendship dramas--shudder--but we all lived through them and hopefully, like the girl in the book, grew from them.<br />*smiles* Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-4455855490320097252010-01-04T22:43:31.727-05:002010-01-04T22:43:31.727-05:00It sounds like a good read, although I confess to ...It sounds like a good read, although I confess to wondering if I just made up nonsensical phrases (ie, the scraped knee), would I win a literary prize, too?
