Reviews
"Shakespeare was right: Love does not alter when it alteration finds. Witness Matylda, Bright and Tender , which proclaims the enduring power of friendship and love beyond all separation, even when it is threatened by overwhelming grief. Matylda, Bright and Tender is one of those novels that holds out the promise of joy in the morning. If there is heartache here--and there is--it is balanced by sudden happiness; if there is sorrow, it is lightened by constant support. And if much of this is centered on a reptile, well, it only serves to show how so many of the joys we know are so very unexpected." --Gary Schmidt, author of Okay for Now , a National Book Award finalist, and The Wednesday Wars, a Newbery Honor winner Sussy's grief is authentically messy, moving from total despair to anger to confusion, both about her future and Matylda's. . . . a thoughtful exploration of moving on after loss, and the pet-care element offers an interesting twist. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books This tackles grief for the middle-grade set in much the same way as Ali Benjamin's The Thing about Jellyfish (2015). As a simple preadolescent love story, it's refreshing as well. --Booklist At its core, this is a sincere, tender story of friendship...Sussy's deep sorrow hovers at the edges of each page, but McGhee (the author of Dessert First and other books, writing as Hallie Durand) handles the story's heavy emotions with a light touch, using Sussy's changing relationship with Matylda and a classmate to provide balance. --Publishers Weekly Both Sussy and Guy are creative, intelligent characters, and this novel is a good fit for sensitive middle grade readers...This honest and sensitive offering about grief touches on many difficult topics that, while resolved by the conclusion, may require follow-up conversations with a trusted adult. --School Library Journal, Sussy's grief is authentically messy, moving from total despair to anger to confusion, both about her future and Matylda's. . . . a thoughtful exploration of moving on after loss, and the pet-care element offers an interesting twist. -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Synopsis
In a courageous debut novel, Holly M. McGhee explores the loss that shakes one girl's world -- and the unexpected consequences of the things we do for love. Sussy and Guy are best friends, fourth-graders who share their silliest thoughts and deepest hopes. One afternoon, the two of them decide they must have something of their very own to love. After a trip to the pet store, they bring home a spotted lizard, the one with the ancient face and starfish toes, and they name her Matylda (with a y so it's all her own). With Guy leading the way, they feed her and give her an origin story fit for a warrior lizard. A few weeks later, on a simple bike ride, there is a terrible accident. As hard as it is, Sussy is sure she can hold on to Guy if she can find a way to love Matylda enough. But in a startling turn of events, Sussy reconsiders what it means to grieve and heal and hope and go on, for her own sake and Matylda's. By turns both devastating and buoyant, this story is a brave one, showing how far we can justify going for a real and true friend.

- p***p (47)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoGreat seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Bk 3: 2 Violins by Samuel Applebaum (#403989405345)
