The Book of Changes: Stories,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description A collection of stories highlights such unlikely heroes as Clarke, who doesn't have what is takes to be a salesman; Tobias, who has left his report for the last minute; and Dwight, who imitates Donald Duck when he gets in trouble. Jr Lib Guild. From School Library Journal Grade 59Like the various hexagram combinations of the I Ching, around which a school project in the title story revolves, these seven short stories hold wonder and fascination for inquisitive readers. WynneJones invents a nineearringed, purpleMohawked oracle; a Chinese warlord with a penchant for cranberry juice; a bully mesmerized by a Donald Duck impression; a frantic teen who pursues his "developmentally challenged" uncle through the neighborhood one pleasant Saturday morning; a young TV Guide salesman who runs away from his customers and finds an articulate little girl desperately in need of a big brother; and a fourthgeneration hockey star who confesses to the statue of his greatgrandfather that he doesn't love the game. Other than their Ontario settings, the only thread that ties the selections together is WynneJones's magical, adolescentnarrative voice. The stories tend to be openended, something that may disappoint those who like closure. Subtlety and wisdom abound, though, and readers will find the foibles of the empathetic characters creeping back into their consciousness and conversations. From the poignancy of a parent leaving to the exhilaration of finding a lost cow one wintry morning, this collection offers more of the gentle surprises of the funhouse than the jolts of a rollercoaster ride.John Sigwald, Unger Memorial Library, Plainview, TXCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
