Ilustration As Books The Pinballs

You can't always decide where life will take you--especially when you're a kid.

Carlie knows she's got no say in what happens to her. Stuck in a foster home with two other kids, Harvey and Thomas J, she's just a pinball being bounced from bumper to bumper. As soon as you get settled, somebody puts another coin in the machine and off you go again. But against her will and her better judgement, Carlie and the boys become friends. And all three of them start to see that they can take control of their own lives.

Write-Up Regarding Books The Pinballs

I read this book in middle school. I remember it being about encouragement and power through childhood during a very conflicted time for 3 foster children. They learn more about each-other, their past,and their hardships. I definitely recommend this book to children and teens.

I remember kids reading this when I was a kid. I didn't read it until now, as an adult. I found it very compact and a bit abrupt, but the characters are still well-drawn and their growing support of each other seems real.

Kids are resilient & dogs can make a situation better.

adult review to come. maybe only four stars this time 'round.DECEMBERas part of my personal reading challenges for 2017, once a month i will be revisiting a favorite book from when i was a little bitty karen and seeing if it holds up to my fond memories and determining if i can still enjoy it as an old and crotchety karen.fingers crossed.

"The Pinballs" was a sad book that Harvey had both legs broken also for the people the are for them. i would not recommend this book because the story might be sad for some people. Also that Carile and her dad is a copy of "Sure Signs of Crazy" (if you had read it).

This book wrecked my house. It's so tiny! So unassuming! A story written in the 70s of three scrappy kids in foster care, what could possibly happen? Holy smokes, this book is brutal, but in that really blunt way kids haveespecially in more vintage kids booksthat means that, as a kid, I would be totally chill with this book. Some happy parts, some sad parts, overall a good ride. It's Adult Me that's losing it. Land sakes alive.

The Book is Mainly About 3 Kids that Live in A Foster home Together. I Like This Book because Is Mainly Explains About Self Control and How Adults make Mistakes at time. I Predict that what is going to Happen next is That they will Change their Behaviors and Try to change so that They can have a better life.
