Some of the poetry was good, and some I didn't like as much. I have learned from further reading that most of this book is autobiographical - Luisa is the story of a revolutionary childhood in Nicaragua, where ghosts haunt houses with the sound of their slippers, and old ladies help blow up bridges.

My favorite story was about the "dwarf" lady. I actually have been carrying this book for many years. I purchased it at a li This is not a traditional novel - more vignettes and poetry woven together. I purchased it at a library book sale when I lived in New Jersey. It moved with me to Florida. I must have begun it at some point, as I found an order form for PC World magazine nestled in the first few pages.

Nov 28, Kristin rated it liked it. This is an interesting multigenre "novel. I also love the political context El Salvador, Nicaragua, liberation and resistance, etc.

Oct 17, Ryan Horricks rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Anyone who likes novels outside the traditional and latin american authors. Offers a creative perspective on the novel, using short poems and narratives to give a witness to a little girl caught up in a tragic civil war and dictatorship. Both hopeful and sad this is a book that can be picked up and read from cover to cover multiple times, or simply set down and perused at your leisure.

Jun 29, Elaine rated it liked it. Though this book is billed as a novel, it is more of a collection of poems, essays, short short stories, bits of memory. The girl Luisa features in most of them, and so does the history of El Salvador right up to the time when the rivers ran red and old women helped the muchachos blow up bridges.

Preview — Alice in Realityland by K. Alice in Realityland by K. YA, grades 7 and up "Someone asked me once If I could have one gift, just one, and it could be mine forever to share with whomever I wanted I didn't even have to think beyond a second about it.

Just to be happy. Yeah, that's the gift I'd like. Like the year I started school. All the other kids had friends. All t YA, grades 7 and up "Someone asked me once All the other kids played together, shared treats with each other while I sat by myself. At least that's the way it was until Lexie Bealman sat next to me one day. She smiled and told me how she wanted to be my friend. And I feel sorry for you, you know. I'm doing you a favor.

And that's the way it remained. She was the sweet, gooey dessert that everybody wanted and I was the fruit. Every day for the rest of that school year. And I didn't care because I had a friend. She could have taken my whole lunch and I wouldn't have cared. Nobody else bothered to talk to me, other than calling me names like shrimp, or midget, or whatever equates with being almost a foot shorter than everyone else in class. She has one good friend and lots of optimism. But is that enough to turn life around and make her happy? It takes getting hit in the head with a ball and dreaming of a strangely scary and wonderful world to give Alice the chance for an adventure to make life and love what it should be.

I thank u Mrs. Jun 17, Princess rated it liked it Shelves: It tended to drag at points for me but it had its moments. All in all, a good message. When all you focus on is power or status you see things in gray; willing to do anything and treating people anyway to get what you want.
