A squirrel tried to kill me. I was sitting in an Adirondack chair under a Maple Tree enjoying the evening breeze, reading the book 'Noggin' by John Corey Whaley. When I hear a loud whooshing sound of something falling through the leaves. I screamed and moved out of the way. There sitting beside ...
I've been meaning to read Noggin for a while now, especially since it won an award. What a strange concept though. It definitely is not what I expected but I did read through it quickly and enjoyed the quirky characters. Travis had cancer and died. But five years later he wakes up with his head at...
Just another YA book, if you take aside the whole body-transplant. Too bad Travis spends more time moping on his (ex) girlfriend than having struggles accepting a new body (which he never does, anyway).
This is probably one of the single most powerful books I have read in my entire life. It made me want to laugh, to cry, to shake Travis silly. It takes a lot for a book to impact me on that level, most of the books I have read and love didn't even come close to making me feel how this book did. Trav...
"You can find ways to be okay with dying, but you can’t fake your way through living."Cuando Travis se entera que el cáncer que tiene es incurable, toma la única decisión que le da un poco de esperanza: permitir que le corten la cabeza -la única parte de su cuerpo que el cáncer no ha tocado- y la cr...

Time has moved on without you, and when you walk out into the sunlight, your world has changed. Not enough that we’re living in spaceships and other galaxies but just enough that the world that you left is no longer within your grasps. There are two choices, well actually three but the third choic...
With musings of ''You can find ways to be okay with dying, but you can't fake your way through living.' finding themselves intertwined with 16 year old boy humor, Noggin is a touching mix of the funny (in a cringe-please-don't-do-what-i-think-you're-up- to) and the deep. It's the second that should ...
I wanted to love his first book because it was the quirky sort of thing I usually eat up but it just left me feeling cold and I just couldn't figure out why it won the Printz award. This one, on the other hand, was wonderful and I loved it! Different strokes :)
