That said, this memorable story about female friendships, silly bets, different kinds of love, and bad decisions is authentic in detail and emotion-another Stead hallmark. Emily has new curves and an almost-boyfriend who wants a certain kind of picture. Keeping readers off-balance is a Stead hallmark, but it doesn’t work quite as successfully here as it did in When You Reach Me and Liar and Spy, perhaps because the mystery narrator and the people she interacts with aren’t as fleshed out as everyone else. Goodbye Stranger Rebecca Stead 3.92 13,864 ratings2,341 reviews Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Best Middle Grade & Children's (2015) Bridge is an accident survivor who's wondering why she's still alive. Then there is an unnamed high school–age character, whose second-person chapters take place on Valentine’s Day, months in the future. But its the start of seventh grade, and everything is changing. Long ago, best friends Bridge, Emily, and Tab made a pact: no fighting. Meanwhile, Bridge has a new friend, Sherm his share of the story unspools in letters to his estranged grandfather, who left Sherm’s beloved Nonna after 50 years of marriage. Description This brilliant, New York Times bestselling novel from the author of the Newbery Medal winner When You Reach Me explores multiple perspectives on the bonds and limits of friendship. A tight triumvirate, Bridge and her friends Tab and Em have sworn upon a Twinkie never to fight, but now Em’s curves are attracting boy interest (and a request for a risqué photo), while Tab’s attentions are turning toward feminism and social justice. Bridget Barsamian accidentally skated into traffic at age eight, and this brush with death has made her an uncommonly introspective seventh-grader. ![]()

The show's producers tackled this daunting task by using the device of a mystery. He then uses the lessons learned from them as a yardstick to see if we will fall victim to some of the same problems. For those who don't know the book, Diamond with amazing detail and careful logic, traces the rise and fall of a number of ancient civilizations. Unfortunately, I have to report that the National Geographic production, while expensive with very good production values, has made a muddled mess of Diamond's masterpiece. Based on the book by Jared Diamond, produced by National Geographic, and with a who's who of environmental heavy weights, this should be killer documentary. ![]() ![]() ![]() As if Fudge hasn't caused enough problems already, now Peter's parents are planning on moving to the country for a whole year and having another baby.
