Spinelli, Jerry

Knots in My Yo-yo String: The Autobiography of a Kid

141 pp. January, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-679-98791-6 | Paper ISBN 0-679-88791-1
(2) 4-6 Spinelli's childhood memoir, illustrated with black-and-white photos, is presented as a series of highly polished vignettes. Important events, such as winning a foot race and losing a loved family pet, are juxtaposed with quiet reminiscences. There is an "everyboy" universality to Spinelli's experiences, but his keen powers of observation and recall turn the story into a richly rewarding personal history.
