"My teacher assigned this book for English class and I have to say it wasn't that bad. :) This was a ..painful story, let's say. It was moving, but hard to read because of the verbal abuse of Tillie. I don't know, you'd have to read the book itself to understand.
The mother, Beatrice, astounded me. She was a tad on the crazy side.. but that made her all that much better of a character. She was more... real, maybe? This play was made better by the fact that we read it out loud and the girl reading Beatrice's part was A-MAY-ZING. She just made the part come alive with her voice alone. :) All in all, a pretty good read! :)"
"I need to reread this tale to see if it translates from 1970 to today. A girl struggles to raise herself out of a stifling family environment--through a science fair project that symbolically reflects her very struggle! Positive."
