Get Started On Running Back To Ludie Produced By Angela Johnson Released As Paper Edition

back to Ludie by Angela Johnson is a snapshot of a young girls life without her mom, I enjoyed the writing style in this book, but at times it began to get hard to understand, I feel this book can really relate to young children missing there parent and the longing they feel to see them, I would recommend this book to people who enjoy quick reads or find interest in reading about life from a kids perspective, Running Back to Ludie

It read like a first draft that needed more detail, It felt too short for me to connect to it, Basically a young teen wants to know the mother who left her, Finally she is allowed to visit and it isnt as exciting as it seemed, But shes happy to have made a connection, Now she wont think of a blank when someone says mother, now she has Ludie, Ludie is portrayed as dysfunctional from the point of view of the girl, but you have to wonder why she would not only leave her daughter, but never visit And after completing the book I still dont know.
Did I read too fast Maybe, it is a verse novel, But if I only skimmed the surface so might young readers whom this book is aimed at, Angela Johnsons book: First Part Last was wonderful, so I didnt expect to be so disappointed in Ludie,
This is really a very, very brief snapshot of a young girl rekindling her relationship with an absentee mother, But because it's so brief, it really only scratches the emotional surface, One of the strengths of a novel in verse is how deeply you can get into a character's heart, I missed that here. But what can you expect from less thanpages I think it just needed more space to blossom, Mother and daughter poems. The narrator of these bittersweet verses hasn't seen her mother in years, She lives with her father and aunt and studies old photographs of Ludie, clinging to distant memories of strolls on winter days, But now she's going to see her mother again, to stay with her for a few days in her cabin in the woods, She is finally going to discover how it feels to be her mother's daughter, Soulful and strong, illustrated with expressive blackandwhite drawings, this poetry collection explores a tender spirit and an aching heart, For information, please see sitelink For
