Description Toward Books Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy

Not only is Turner Buckminster the son of the new minister in a small Maine town, he is shunned for playing baseball differently than the local boys. Then he befriends smart and lively Lizzie Bright Griffin, a girl from Malaga Island, a poor community founded by former slaves. Lizzie shows Turner a new world along the Maine coast from digging clams to rowing a boat next to a whale. When the powerful town elders, including Turner’s father, decide to drive the people off the island to set up a tourist business, Turner stands alone against them. He and Lizzie try to save her community, but there’s a terrible price to pay for going against the tide.

Appraise Epithetical Books Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy

I enjoyed reading this book but at the start of the book, its slow and not much happens but, in the end, it heats up. It's one of my favorite book club books I've read this year.

I'm sorry to say I didn't like this book at all. It wasn't terrible, I just found it terribly boring. I actually fell asleep twice while reading it, and almost fell asleep a bunch more times throughout. I think it's just Gary Schmidt's writing style. I've never been very fond of overly descriptive narration. At least half of this book is just description, and most of it not essential description, or at least it felt like it to me. I also didn't like the ending. I understand that this book was

Oh boy. Gary Schmidt. I thought maybe Orbiting Jupiter was his most tragic book...but no. In terms of sadness and tragedy, this one throws that one out of the water. And I was not expecting that. I thought going in that it was going to be a sweet story of a summertime friendship taking place at the turn of the century - and it is in part, but if that's how I were to actually describe the book to someone...well, I'd be lying. That description hardly says *anything* about the book. Because it's

The friendship between a preacher's son and a black girl in 1912 Maine is tested by the prejudice of the townspeople. Great character development. It was good, but I wouldn't have given it a Newbery honor book award.

Oh Gary D. Schmidt-how do I love thee, let me count the ways.1. Wonderful insight into boys who really try to be good. Even better in this book with all of poor Turners mishaps2. His love of the arts and the influence they can have for good in lives both young and old3. Connection with nature4. Constant exploration of how the young are the ones who are still innocent enough to try harder, especially with treating people right.5. Belief in the innate goodness of most people, even if it takes most

This was such a good book. I recommend it to adults as well as tweens and teens.

This is among the most boring books in existence. The cover speaks for itself, as it's depressing and doesn't deserve to be on the shelves. For the sake of the reader's health, this book needs to be taken down on all book shops across the globe and even online.
