Books like mr terupt5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() I still re-read my scathing Goodreads review of this book from time to time. I usually like coming-of-age stories, but this one was just depressing and uncomfortable. I read this book in library school as well, and when I was finished I likened the reading experience itself to walking very slowly up a road. (I find it kind of funny that I actually read this book when so many books I was assigned as an undergraduate went unread.) It was a miserable experience - I didn't like the plot, the characters, the writing style, anything - and to this day, I don't know a child who has read and enjoyed this book. As Kira-Kira was the winner that year, we were all required to buy and read a copy. ![]() In library school, my children's literature course was focused entirely on Newbery Medal and honor books. ![]()
