Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Eggs
Last night I finished scanning Eggs by Jerry Spinelli. I believe he is a
Newbery author although this is not a Newbery book.
It's on step 1 now.
Nine-year-old David has recently lost his mother to a freak accident, his
salesman father is constantly on the road, and he is letting his anger out
on his grandmother. Sarcastic and bossy 13-year-old Primrose lives with her
childlike, fortuneteller mother, and a framed picture is the only evidence
of the father she never knew. Despite their differences, David and Primrose
forge a tight yet tumultuous friendship, eventually helping each other deal
with what is missing in their lives. This powerful, quirky novel about two
very complicated, damaged children has much to say about friendship, loss,
and recovery.
