I know to many people that have read this book, feel like it has no end, the characters aren't well described, or it was very boring. And I understand what they are saying. But most of the books kids our age read are authors who state what they want the readers to think of a character's personality or something. I know I love those books the most because they make it easier to understand, fun, but really the story flies away from my brain once I shut that book close because, well, they are not allowing people to think for themselves. Have any of you read The Wrinkle In Time? Well, you know how this author writes beautifully, in my opinion, and at the same time describes her characters come to life. We have to infer what is going on in her story. Same with The Wanderer. I find the Wanderer very well written because the author can really describe the characters because it's great how we can form some personality to each character in our imaginations. I don't think many authors can really pull that off. I love Sharon Creech's style of writing because it is unique while refreshing.
