Rating: Summary: The Wanderer Review: The Wanderer by Sharon Creech, is a good and exciting book. It is about a thirteen-year-old girl named Sophie and her cousin Cody who is the same age. They travel with their other cousin and three uncles to England on a sailboat across the Atlantic Ocean. They do this because they want to visit one of their uncle's fathers. This is a touching book about friendship.

Rating: Summary: outstanding Review: It's a shame when a book like this is marked ages "8-12" because I'm afraid it keeps the very people (those of us who are supposedly Grown Ups) who may most need to read it from ever giving it a try. This is a wonderful book. The format is extremely appealing (journal entries that bounce between Sophie and her cousin Cody), and helps to set up early on a question that keeps the reader wondering until the end. The author uses enough words to give the feeling of being on the ocean, without bludgering the reader with overly descriptive passages. The ending is unexpected and moving. After this and Walk Two Moons, I'm off to read Sharon Creech's other works. I recommend this to everyone.
Rating: Summary: The Wanderer Review: This is the best book I ever read! Sharon Creech really expresses her feelings and makes the story seem like it's happening right before your eyes! This book is funny, sad and sentimental all put together! ...
Rating: Summary: Sharon Creech has done it again! Review: I am continually amazed each time I read one of Sharon Creech's novels. I found Walk Two Moons to be remarkable, and I was not at all disappointed with The Wanderer. This book is written from two different perspectives: Sophie's and Cody's, which adds a unique twist and makes it very interesting. Once again, Sharon Creech manages to take different stories and different perspectives and weave them together beautifully in a way that really works. The Wanderer has plenty of suspense and adventure as well as some very tender moments. I also found it to be very thought-provoking. It left me thinking about life, and it left me feeling good. This one is another winner!
Rating: Summary: Not her best Review: Sharon Creech is a wonderful writer and this is a good book, however if you haven't read "Walk Two Moons" (her Newbery award winner), then you should read that first. (Or maybe not, if you want to save the best for last....) My problem with this book is that, even for a childrens book, it is too simplistic and silly at times: the child's simple view of life helping the adults see where they went wrong... That sort of thing.
Rating: Summary: Not as wonderful as everyone else says Review: I was really looking forward to reading this book since it's by the author of my favorite book and because it got really good reviews. After I got through with it though, I didn't see what the big deal was. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't good. It was a simple story, with "suspense" built in, but the so-called "mystery" was easy to figure out. And I got sick of reading, the sea, the sea, the sea at the beginning of every chapter. I will say that Sophie was a great character, very refreshing, and the main topic of them sailing across the atlantic was also refreshing. I've never read a book about sailing before. Well maybe some of you out there will like this book, and maybe the reason I didn't like it very much was because I'm getting too old for it(15), but hey, this is just my opinion.
