Memorable,
By
This review is from: Fireweed (Hardcover)
Fireweed is a coming of age story in WWII London. Two teenagers learn about self-reliance and responsibilities as they survive on their own during the bombing of London.
Ms. Walsh captures the angst, selfishness, and drama of the young having to cope with a world that is suddenly changed forever, as well as the resilience and ingenuity that came with suddenly having to take care of themselves and eachother in a time when life continued on as bombs falling at any time became almost commonplace. I read this book first as a pre-teen. It has haunted me for years and is still touching now reading it again at 32.

Two teen adrift in wartorn London,
This review is from: Fireweed (Paperback)
Superb story of two teens, a boy and a girl, adrift in London during the blitz. Both have slipped away from their evacuation destinations and want to remain free of adult plans for their futures. Simple, eloquent, elegant prose describes the purpose and pattern of their days as they build their immensely satisfying private world during a time of national chaos and daily danger. Themes of friendship, responsibility, work, and comraderie prevail. Very very special.

If you really like books about romance you should read this one!,
By anamaldonado "anamaldoando" (chicago,ill) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fireweed (Paperback)
Fireweed is written by Jill Patton Walsh. Fireweed is a book about romance, you should read this One! Now! This book is written by a first person point of view. Fireweed is about these two kids named Bill and Julie that both of them ran way from their parents and they met each other on the train station and they went out to eat, but there was a war taking place and Julie got hurt. What do you think happened next? Try and finding out , Reading this book was very easy for me because a lot of kids run away from home and desperately parents don't know which way to find them. What I did like about this book was that the story it was nice and one thing I didn't like was they said in chapter three and they start telling the beginning. My opinion about the book was that there was too much love it was kind of annoying and how they met each other and that was boring so only because I say I didn't like it that doesn't mean that you don't like it and if it is interesting to you go ahead and read it. ENJOY!
