Goodreads Book Review

WintergirlsWintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Laurie Halse Anderson...I met her once, right when this book was released, and I love the fact that she, like myself, believes that school should not KILL kids' love of reading. That's a value I can definitely get behind, and I try not to be the giant joykill English teacher by building a lot of choice into my high school English classes...anyway, I could talk about teaching strategies forever, but this book was beautifully-written, though sometimes hard to read. I found Lia a bit of a frustrating character because she so completely puts herself and those she loves at risk in order to feel in control of her life. So, I tried to compare Lia's extremism to my own control issues and I found that was a place I could start to relate to her- after all, how many of us have tried to push people away because they threatened that fragile sense of control? That gave me a little bit more empathy for Lia, and I hope it expands my empathy for others in similar situations. I loved the weaving in of myth in this book- especially Persephone and the idea of "wintergirls." I love that Anderson attempts to give voice to characters who are, essentially, voiceless. Another value I can relate to...an amazing work and I recommend it to anyone who likes reading "true life" teen stories that look at high school from the non-mainstream perspective.

I would love to be considered as much of a kick-ass chick as Princess Leia...as I go through my day fighting the evil empire (LAUSD) and trying to provide my students with a variety of learning experiences! Oh yeah, and keeping my braids intact.

My Homage to Princess Leia

1. She's sassy.
2. She kicks ass.
3. She was a role model for young women before Jessica Simpson and Angelina Jolie (Princess Leia could take Lara Croft anyday).
4. She sometimes realizes the joy of going out on a limb (hairstyles, love interests, participating in the rebellion, etc.). 5. She's an alto.
6. She was also a workaholic control-freak (hence why she was able to help lead the rebellion against the Evil Empire), like me!

Sassy face...

Sassy face...
Sassy enough to be worthy of Princess Leia? You tell me!
