How can something that makes me laugh out loud one minute make me cry the next?!
The Schwa Was Here is a terrific story - one to which anyone who has ever felt ignored or invisible will relate. The tale is told from the viewpoint of Antsy Bonano, whose "voice" is wonderful - and I loved hearing Antsy's words from Neal Shusterman himself.
This is the third of Shusterman's books I've read - and all three are very different reading experiences. I've definitely become a fan!
Shusterman's website is here.

I'm starting his book Unwind for my book group this week. Hope it's as good as this one. I will definitely add this one to the list.
ReplyDeleteYour reading is so wonderfully eclectic. I love it. I love it when we can't pigeon-hole someone by what they read. How you must grow mentally.
Great review!
Unwind was the first of Shusterman's books I read - and I was blown away! I hope you enjoy it. I hope to get to the sequel Unwholly sometime soon.
DeleteLove! This! Book! :) Have you read Antsy Does Time yet? I may have liked it even better. We are reading Unwind for our book club too! In December.
ReplyDeleteI'm moving Antsy Does Time up on my to-read list! I hope you'll like Unwind too!
