Fetch Steps In Time Composed By Ruth Wallace-Brodeur Visible In Copy
brief coming of age story, Evan, short for Evangeline, spends the summer on an island at her grandmothers house maturing in her relationship with her Gram, quilting, learning to dive, working on a fishing boat and making friends and a possible romantic relationship.
In most ways, Steps In Time is just standard comingofage fiction, splashing in the vein of those's's ABC afterschool specials, In other ways, it's a book about appreciating the little things around you, and the moments and people who make it all worthwhile, Whether or not Steps In Time is all that meaningful is up for debate, as most reviewers seem to find the book unmemorable, I personally found main character Evan's transition from a sullen kid to a more mature and insightful person to work on many levels it's by no means groundbreaking fiction, but it still has a good and relevant message for readers.
Evan's peers are all doing fun things for the summer, finding themselves through social activities, hobbies and the like, Evan herself, on the other hand, is lonely and clueless about how to spend her time, Sent to Maine to stay with her grandmother, it's sure to be a boring time, . . but it turns out to be anything but, as Evan finds solace in this new world to explore, It's a simple premise, but it works, As a character, Evan is a likeable person and a good role model, albeit not that much of an outstanding figure in the realm of creative fiction, She has personality traits that can apply to anyone,
One of many LaurelLeaf books marketed as written for girls back in its heyday, Steps In Time has often been overlooked as shallow teen fiction, which isn't really fair, nor is there any reason why male readers can't enjoy the book, either.
It's a more exciting story than the first impression it makes, and it definitely deserves a closer look, Oh, the nostalgia. I couldn't decide whether I should rate it like/or/because it's not really thrilling or meaningful, For me, it's rather boring and simple, Btw I've got some kinda "Vanishing Girls" vibes, I dunno why Probably because in both cases there were girls
who were applying for jobs during the summer vacation, Spending the summer on an island off the coast of Maine, sixteenyearold Evan grows closer to her grandmother and gains new maturity and selfconfidence, .
