Ilustration To Books Umbrella Summer

Annie Richards knows there are a million things to look out for -- bicycle accidents, food poisoning, chicken pox, smallpox, typhoid fever, runaway zoo animals, and poison oak. That's why being careful is so important, even if it does mean giving up some of her favorite things, like bike races with her best friend, Rebecca, and hot dogs on the Fourth of July. Everyone keeps telling Annie not to worry so much, that she's just fine. But they thought her brother, Jared, was just fine too, and Jared died.

Critique Of Books Umbrella Summer

Recently, during a 3 1/2-hour flight to Phoenix, I read Lisa Graff's UMBRELLA SUMMER, and I tell you, I cannot count the number of times I cried while reading this book. It's the story of Annie, a 10-year-old girl whose brother, Jared, died of a undiagnosed heart condition after being hit by a hockey puck five months earlier. Now, Annie is obsessed with protecting herself from harm: She wears a bike helmet during car rides, covers her mosquito bites with Band-aids (and wonders if they might be

You know how you get tired of reading the same thing over and over again? I was in that kind of rut. It's not any of the books were really bad, but I wanted something different. I wanted to feel like what it was to be a kid again. You know how you think you won't ever forget? Well inevitably you do forget some things. Thank goodness we have authors who can remember enough so young readers will want to read. If it weren't for authors who wrote for kids I know I probably wouldn't have become a

I really liked Umbrella Summer! Its so interesting. Annie is the main character she's so interesting, she's scared about all the things that could happen to her. She just needs to close her umbrella, for everything she's worried about. Like her brother Jared's death, or the dieses she thinks she has.

HarperCollins Advanced Reader CopyThis book is aimed at children who have suffered a loss but I am not sure it is complete enough for that. The friendship between the main character and her older neighbor has results that I don't think were developed enough in the story. It was a book that dealt with serious issues but not deep enough - the humor was good but the book left me feeling like something wasn't quite right with the overall perspective of the story.

Lord. I haven't cried so much since the first time I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This book is amazing. It's written so well like it's really from the perspective of a ten-year-old girl who is coping with the aftermaths of her brother's death. It's just so innocent and childish and.. and completely heartbreaking. This is the point where I started crying:"Don't call me Moonbeam anymore," I told him."What?" he said."Don't call me that anymore unless you mean it."Mom came down the

Using the words careful and worry would be an understatement for describing main character, Annie Richards.Her brother died of something unexpected, and ever since, she has to be extra careful, and takes life too seriously, like a grown up! She is missing out on her childhood.Thankfully, Mrs. Harper, an elderly lady moved in across the street to the "haunted house" and becomes friends with Annie, and helps her see life in a new way. Because of Mrs. Harper, Annie's umbrella starts to close, and

Such a great story! I love how book titles mean so much more after completing a book!
