In this unique look at the vicissitudes of growing up, a big bash is planned for the town dwarf as she approaches her 18th birthday; PW called this "one more inimitable creation by the author of an unbroken list of winners." Ages 12-up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Similar and Regular and Like Everybody Else, August 8, 2005

By 

Ulyyf "Connie" (NYC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Little Little (Paperback)

On the surface, this is a book about being a dwarf, but, in reading it, it's clear that this is a book on two people struggling with conformity and normality. Our main character has a mother who judges people by how well they fit in. Reading non-inspirational books, being around people who aren't perfectly formed enough is "depressing".

It's a good take on the subject, really.

3.0 out of 5 stars Finally a realistic view of a young adult drawf., October 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Little (Mass Market Paperback)

This book shows young adult drawfs as they are in real life: some slow, some clever, some honest, some con men. Humorous at times, but always down to earth. I enjoyed reading something about drawfs other than a medical report.
