I may have found a new favorite author for children's literature. I know that so many Twitter teachers love Creech, but this is the first novel of hers that I've read.
Replay focuses on Leonardo, Leo for short, and his big Italian family. I guess that it's this which I can identify with. In this family, you have a nickname, and if you mess up, no one lets you forget it. Replay is written in third person, but for nearly every "real life" scene, Leo replays it happening perfectly in his mind, makin it better. I love Leo's imagination and his compassion.
This is a sweet book that has whet my appetite for Creech's writing.
