I find that many of the books I read between the ages of 13 and 17 are basically crap, and primarily featured books that shouldn't have been published. Wretched, wretched. Still, I find myself rereading those books that I managed to hang onto from that time, hating most of them. HOWEVER, this book is delightful! I loved it when I read it as a teenager, and found myself loving it again as I re-read it. The tone is light and playful, and the main character, Ellie Morgan, is utterly relatable. IWhat a great YA book. So many of the YAs I read these days are dark and dystopian and although very interesting and very good reads, sometimes ya just need something a little lighter. While squashed wasn't dark and didn't have some intense teenage relationship it still made me really feel for the characters. It even made me cry.It has the requisite angst, a giant pumpkin, a little bit of romance, and a HFN (happy for now) ending. How can you go wrong?On the writing side, this book helped me
Cute, fast, and fun. I suggest reading it in October so that you can really enjoy the mood...
Do you think agriculture is boring? Think again! The book Squashed, by Joan Bauer will change your mind. People of all ages can relate to this book. It is about sixteen year old, Ellie Morgan and the challenges she faces while growing her giant pumpkin, and dealing with the problems of a normal teenager. Ellie Morgan is a determined girl. She faces many problems while growing her pumpkin. These include weather, pumpkin thieves, grades, her dad, weight, and boy problems. Through thick and thin
As I said in my status update when I started reading this book, I don't usually read YA fiction. I'm pleased my friend Kyla, who leads a YA book group, has marked it to-read. I highly recommend it.This book is delicious. The writing is so good I tasted only a little bit at a time even though I wanted to scarf it down in one sitting. I didn't want it to be gone -- I was trying to make it last.This is easily G or PG, I will let my daughter read it though she is half the heroine's age. There are
This is such a funny, warm, delicious read. Growing the bestest and largest pumpkin is only part of the story, as our heroine also grows herself.
I read this exclusively for the fall setting, but immediately was touched by it. The dramatic verbiage and descriptions perfectly matched my sense of humor and I was laughing out loud at the ridiculous sentences that resulted from it. I don't know if this was intentional at all, but I really enjoyed the book because of it. I also learned a lot of new information that I could immediately demonstrate when someone started asking questions about pumpkins lmao.
