Goodbye, Charley

165 pp. | Farrar | August, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-374-35020-5 $16.00
(4) 4-6 Celie's best friend has moved away, and her family is entrenched in various war-at-home (its 1943) projects. Lonely, Celie befriends a visiting neighbor and spends the summer caring for a monkey her father brought home. Characterization is sacrificed for an overabundance of plot lines. However, the problems with keeping a wild animal are well-portrayed, and Celie's struggles in this arena are intriguing.
