What happened to this girl? Did she run off with her boyfriend? Did her controlling father kill her? Did she kill herself?īe forewarned, none of these questions are really answered.
I was completely sucked in, right from the very first page. I did not intend to sit and read the entire book, but the book is so much larger than the others next to it on the Fiction shelf, and it just caught my eye. I read this on a Friday afternoon, after school, while sitting on the floor of my brand-new school library. We question her sanity and the possibility that her story is totally in her mind. We learn about Glory’s ascent into international fame. Through scrapbook pages, photographs, letters, text messages, art, and news clippings, we learn about Glory, her boyfriend Frank, and her parents. We are then taken backward in time to Glory’s birth. At the beginning of the book, we find news clippings reporting Glory’s abrupt disappearance. Similar to Jennifer Holm’s Middle School is Worse Than Meatloaf, Chopsticks is told entirely through the “stuff” of 17-year old piano prodigy Glory and her South American boyfriend, Frank. REVIEW: What a cool book! The format sucked me in immediately. IF THIS BOOK WERE FOOD, IT WOULD BE: apples–the most versatile fruit–eat ’em raw, baked, sliced, whole, juiced, fried, pureed, salted–they can become anything! Pictorial clues tell the story leading up to her disappearance. 89–102.SUMMARY: 17-year old piano prodigy Glory is missing. “Touch Design and Narrative Interpretation: A Social Semiotic Approach to Picture Book Apps.” Apps, Technology and Younger Learners: International Evidence for Teaching, edited by N.
