Greetings from Nowhere Frances Foster Books Barbara O'Connor 9780374399375 Books

When you read more than one of an author’s books, there is the natural tendency to compare them and ask yourself which one is your favorite. In the case of Barbara O’Connor’s works, that’s an almost impossible question to answer. First, let me say if you don’t go out and get Wish as soon as it hits the stores this week, you are going to miss out on all the fun and excitement that’s exploding in the book world from this, her newest. Then, after falling in love with Wish, if you haven’t read her others, like How to Steal a Dog, The Small Adventure of Popeye and Elvis, or one of the fourteen others, get going. Most of all, do not miss Greetings from Nowhere where a heartfelt experience unfolds at a down on its heels motel in the Great Smokey Mountains. In addition to being everything you want from a middle grade book, the craftsmanship here is extraordinary. This book is a study in how to write multiple fraught points of view and bring them together in a memorable and gratifying ending.

So this was about 3 kid's who all had their own life's to live. And then they all meet up at a little motel called Sleepy Time Motel ran by a skinny old woman whose husband past away a few years ago
I loved this one. Wait until you meet these lovable characters. Aggie is most endearing and each child from Willow to Loretta, and even little Kirby are unforgettable. I love the way Barbara O'Conner writes. Her book, How to Steal a Dog is one of my all-time favorites. Please give us more book like these...they are great read-alouds!!
I just finished reading Greetings from Nowhere. What a beautifully crafted story. If I could write, this is the story I would want to tell. The characters are so well-defined that the reader develops a close relationship with each one. I was sad when I reached the end. The story was over much too soon. I can't wait to share this book with my fifth graders. I know that they will feel my enthusiasm and will want to read it as well. Thank you, Ms. O'Connor. I am looking forward to reading your other books. I hope you will consider a sequel, so that I can learn what happens to Aggie, Willow, Loretta, and most of all, Kirby. I have known many Kirbys during my teaching career.
Loved this book, but liked the first cover better. I have the kids do a predicting activity, but since the cover changed and I had a copy of it, I had the students do the predicting activity but had two different types of responses which was interesting. I love the story either way!
Great quick read for young adults!
My granddaughter loves the Barbara O'Connor books so I gave her several for Christmas.
