gorelenore 's review for:
Agnes's Place
by Marit Larsen
This children's book was about a young girl that is feeling alone. She lives on the third floor of her building and the rest of it's occupants are adults. She has some routines which keep her busy but she is lonely and hopes for the day that a friend comes along.
One day, another child moves in, Agnes tries to contact her to come and play but the girl doesn't come, nor does she come the day after...of the day after that. Soon Agnes feels like the new girl is not just avoiding her but also befriending all of her friends in the building. Eventually they come together and all is wonderful, the world is anew and everything is special again. Agnes feels less lonely and has a new friend.
This was a cute story about loneliness and feelings of belonging. I think that Agnes is a very realistic character, how she is excited and then hurt, and once everything comes together she is full of wonder. It is very good at understanding those emotions and expressing them in the writing and images throughout. The illustrations were very detailed and beautiful and I think kids will really enjoy reading this book.
