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 received this book in a Goodreads giveaway. I have tried and tired to keep reading it and get into it. and I just cannot. The writing is really bad. The story line is often jumpy and the transitions of events or characters thoughts are often very loosely controlled. I found more then 6 grammer/spelling errors within the first 4 chapters. I am a firm believer in finishing every book that i start because i like to give the writer the benefit, however this one i cannot go any further with.I
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 secure
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.
I loved the author's use of language and her characters. It left me in a puddle at the end, but well worth it.
I'm so glad I stumbled on this book thanks to some deal I read last weekend. I loved it. Apron, the main character, makes you want to hug her and cheer on as life takes some bad turns. The book made me smile, laugh, and tear up. I definitely recommend this book as it is well written and an interesting story.
