This is a story that though peppered with a myriad of complex and often heartbreaking issues, never forgot that it was set in a world being experienced through the mind and heart of a young and for the most part, still very innocent girl.Apron Bramhall has lost her mother to Cancer, her father to a Brazilian nurse's aide named 'M', and her bff has sailed off in search of the big fish in the popularity pond. So it is no wonder that Apron is having a few issues in the feeling loved and secureI swallowed a piece of my heart that was now lodged in my throat. There was a lot of that happening in Girl Unmoored. Apron's story was both sweet and sad, but mostly sad. Consider her life: a daddy whos not all there plus a horrible step mom to be. A friend who is not really a friend, and a memory of things that doesnt paint the most accurate picture of the past. Shes a sad kid, but a brave one. But its that last aspect I liked: her willingness to put herself out there. That said, there
I LOVED this book! It is one of the best books I have read in a long time, and it has everything besides romance that makes a book good: parental drama, best friend drama, school drama, societal drama, etc. Here's the set-up: A young girl named Apron is being raised by her father and his Brazilian girlfriend "M" (Margee), who was her mother's caregiver before she died. M and Apron don't get along at all, and her father is so busy being a college professor he barely notices Apron, who ends up
Mirabile Fabulam! as Apron might say. Apron is the delightfully quirky twelve-year-old heroine of Girl Unmoored by Jennifer Gooch Hummer. Her mother recently died and her dad is burying his grief in a pile of student essays - he's a Latin teacher. Worse yet, Dad has also decided to marry his late wife's sexy Brazilian nurse. About the only person who pays any attention to Apron is her eccentric grandma, who claims tiny people have been cleaning her house at night. Then Apron meets Jesus. Well,
I read this book without reading the description, and I think that helped me enjoy it more. A fantastic story of a 7th grade girl in 1980s Maine with a very distinctive voice that does not come across in the description above. Could not put this down.
This novel is by Jennifer Gooch Hummer,the same author that wrote the Milk Face blog post. But if you're expecting something like that in this book, don't be. This is a very serious book. Apron is in 7th grade and has lost everything. Her mother died six months ago, her best friend dumped her for a girl that hates Apron and she's lost her father to her pregnant stepmother, a woman whose name she won't say, she just calls her "M"."M" is from Brazil and was Apron's mother's nurse while she was
I would recommend this book to anyone who read Tell The Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt and was disappointed by it. Similar-ish plot but WAY better in my opinion. A refreshing read.
