![]() ![]() Her character can be summed up by saying that Sigourney Weaver is her hero. But she also expects things to be the way they "should" be. Kirsty: She's used to being the best at everything she does. I think his character can be summed up by the fact that he's the only one who listened and was willing to answer. He isn't sure if he's crazy or this is real, or even what "real" is. And yet this is just the first of the weird things that end up happening to him. CHARACTERS: Johnny: On the surface, he's an absolutely normal tween kid in a home that is breaking up. The book has some interesting commentary on how the war is just another "show" to kids who have grown up with lots of different screens in their lives, and yet they can't help but be affected by it. Note: It takes place during the first Gulf War so you might need to explain who "Stormin' Norman" is, and other such things, to children who are going to read it. ![]() ![]() SUMMARY: Like most Pratchett book, this one is a pleasure to read for people who love interesting characters.
