Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Friendless and dreamy 11-year-old Elvira Trumbull lives with her unemployed, heavy-drinking father . . . and idolizes the town's children's librarian, Miss Ivy, who shares her interest in growing roses and provides her with the female affection she has missed since her mother died. . . . Elvira is a splendidly realized character and a tough survivor. . . . Miss Ivy is the wise person we all wish we could be. . . . The complexities of Trumbull's character . . . add depth to the story. . . . Readers will appreciate the changes they see in him and rejoice in the positive note on which the novel ends." -School Library Journal, starred review "This compassionate first novel is skillfully related and its characters are perceptively drawn. . . . `They ain't no guarantees worth piddly squat,' Hank warns Elvira, but in her sweetly comic, determined way, Elvira sets out to improve the odds. . . . A noteworthy debut." -Publishers Weekly
