Mitali,thank you for the voice you give to children who often have no advocate; you are a voice to which people stop and listen out of pure respect, the best way to operate in my "book"!Carol H Rascohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15129483986450326966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-63871320097697193782009-09-04T19:52:26.424-04:002009-09-04T19:52:26.424-04:00Mitali's book Rickshaw Girl is one of the book...Mitali's book Rickshaw Girl is one of the books chosen for the Children's Masterlist for Oklahoma's Sequoyah Award, which student vote for their favorite book in April. I really enjoyed the read. It was hard to put down. I was able to remove myself from the present and I became the main character. I am looking forward to reading more of her books.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436799616684949102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-88445373405179283042009-09-03T13:11:53.546-04:002009-09-03T13:11:53.546-04:00One more virtual hug, Mitali!One more virtual hug, Mitali!Sarah Rettgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520851723152425929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-14334447478469487082009-09-03T11:14:02.591-04:002009-09-03T11:14:02.591-04:00Oh, I love The Absolutely True Diary, too.

We first met online when I reviewed the wonderful Monsoon Summer, and I've enjoyed reading her thoughts (and books!) ever since. As a Mississippi native living in New York (now the 'burbs), I could relate to her "between cultures" immediately.Susan T.http://www.chickenspaghetti.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-48174123505657890052009-09-03T10:32:29.425-04:002009-09-03T10:32:29.425-04:00I forgot to include the audio version of Sherman A...I forgot to include the audio version of Sherman Alexie's ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY as one of my favorite "reads" this year.mbpbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16081024119047826077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-81245998560890340592009-09-03T10:28:15.991-04:002009-09-03T10:28:15.991-04:00Feeling virtually hugged here; thanks for the love...Feeling virtually hugged here; thanks for the love, my dears.
