Spinelli, Eileen

Another Day as Emily

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff. In Spinelli's latest verse novel--light, engaging, and easy to read--Suzy, twelve, is having a summer full of challenges; when her birthday trip to see a Phillies game falls through, it's all too much for her, and she decides to emulate recluse Emily Dickinson. The ending is pat, but gentle rather than simplistic, and the resilience of the characters is nicely understated.
