Book Reviews of Nobody's Family Is Going to Change

Book Review: how dare anyone depict children in a realistic way?
Summary: 5 Stars

my title is meant to be sarcastic.
I was deeply, deeply impressed by this book. I was searching for books for my niece and began reading Nobody's Family. the mature language threw me off, and as an older reader I admit I frowned at first. but what the book is really made of is fantastic stuff. in real life, children do use crude language, they do treat each other meanly- not that this is right, but why pompously shield children from what they're already exposed to? children are much stronger and more exposed to adult situations than people think, and this book handles that subject very well. more than that, it might be key to helping readers how to overcome realistic difficulties- through determination, faith in their ideals, and reaching out to others.

Summary of Nobody's Family Is Going to Change

?When somebody has got what Willie here has got, they just know where they?re going and there?s just no point in trying to stop them.?

Willie, seven years old, can?t stop dreaming of the day he will dance on Broadway. Emma, his older sister, is determined that someday she will address a courtroom. Is there something wrong with them? Or is there something wrong with their parents, whose dreams for their children have little to do with what the children want? When Emma sets out to find a way to convince her parents to let her live her life her way, she doesn?t care what happens to Willie. But she soon learns that all kids need a voice, and she may be able to find a way to help them get one.
