Feathers Audiobook (Unabridged)

" It was an OK book. Let's just say it wasn't my cup of tea. "

" I read this book in class and really enjoyed it by relating in real life or something .Its about a white kid crosses a weird bridge ,but he has a rough time going to his new school. "

" as usual, a lovely book by Woodson. I'm curious - was it likely, or even possible, in the 1070s for a black family to adopt a white child? Seems like our society may still be a bit too racist to allow that to happen. Maybe I'm just too cynical? "

" O.K. so Jacqueline Woodson is my new favorite author. I think I liked this book more than After Tupac... It's a story about hope--discovering it,how it works inside you and how you feel when it's lost. Again, Ms. Woodson made me feel comfortable in the world of a black pre-adolescent girl, reminding me how alike we all really are. "

" Feathers would make an excellent companion read to my summer favorite, Firegirl. Like in Firegirl, the main character is confronted with a person in her class who is different. Like in Firegirl, others in the class automatically reject the person who is different. And like in Firegirl, the main character struggles to figure out a way to deal with the person who is different. "

" The story was really deep and contemplative, but I felt like there was a theme that I just couldn't catch onto. The characters are well developed, and you really get to know and understand how the main character's life works. "

" A beautiful book about caring, faith, and hope. "

" Really enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to all my peers. It is definitely a to-read! "

" I thought this was lovely, simple, understated. The first book I've read by Jacqueline Woodson, & I'll definitely check out more. "

" Love Woodson's descriptions of people and exploration of race and class from a young person's perspective. Mysterious and beautiful, simple and intricate--this was a touching calm read that made me think. "

" thought i was going to love it...didn't. i didn't NOT like it, but it was just...a book. that i read. "

" I liked the historical 1970's setting--rather unique. "

" Feathers is a really good book! "

" Not a book for a 6th grader, because of the depth of thought. Insight given from a girl who experiences friendship and sensitivity from someone who appears an outcast. Many levels of symbolism. "

" This book didn't particularly speak to me, but it was well written. It's about a girl trying to dealing with fitting in - herself, her deaf brother and the new boy in school. It's mostly emotions and thoughts, not much actions, so it probably has a limited audience. "

" I luve it!! "

" I wouldn't read this book outloud to my kids but would out it on the shelf. I felt like it had everything to do that with what we were learning though in class. Diversity, disabilities, and cultural immersion. "

" Extremely well done. A must-have for middle/high school teachers. "

" This was a sweet book. I loved the idea of hope that was a beautiful motif throughout the story. I loved the perspective from little Frannie, an African American girl. The symbolism was VERY subtle however, so subtle I'm not sure kids would get what the book's purpose is. "

" This book is good on multiple levels depending on what age you read it. "

" feathers was a great book. if u are a person who loves to read read feathers. "

" To me this book isn't one of those books to say, "Oh! you just have to read it!" I did find it interesting, however, and it served the purpose of learning how someone can look for and find hope. "

" do not read,,, not point what so ever "

" I actually didn't want to read this book after reading After Tupac & D Foster, but I enjoyed this book more. Interesting story, sad but touching. "

" Oh, Jackie you write books that are the closest thing to perfect! "
