Vive la Paris Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This book is beautifully written. It reads more like poetry than a novel. "

" This is a very easy read that doesn't stretch the brain, but it has a good message. It's a feel-good time filler book. I enjoyed reading it. "

" This was a sequel to Sara Special a wonderful book about a girl named paris and her four brothers. Paris learns about the Holocaust and is able to apply what she learned to the school bully. "

" I expected to like this book, but I didn't expect to really rEally like it - it kinda snuck up on me. A contender for my grade 3/4 summer book club... "

" Of course any book by Esme just has to be awesome! :) "

" I'm not sure whom this book is geared towards. I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult, but I think it would be far above the head of most 5th grade readers. And because the main character is in fifth grade, it might seem too young for a more sophisticated reader. "

" this book was so confusing! "

" This was such a good read - it spun together better then I imagined and has such a nice message to tell. "

" This was a really good book and I reccomend it! "

" Wonderful book. The main character is a precocious little black girl who lives in New York. She takes piano lessons from a Jewish teacher, Mrs. Rosen, who teaches her about life. She learns about the holocaust and becomes saddened and depressed, but she soon bounces back wiser for her new knowledge. "

" This is a slice of Paris'life. The reader learns about her brothers, what happens at school, and her piano teacher. The book reminds me of peeling the layers off of an onion. There are many threads to this book which help make Paris the person she is. "

" wow! a stunning across-the-ages look at bullying. Excellent voice, solid characters, and (mostly) a very well told story. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was cute and sent a realistic and positive message. I loved Paris - her innocence and courage. "

" Another wonderful book Esme Codell. A follow-up to "Sahara Special" and just as good if you ask me. It's also a great book to add to the Holocaust genre for children. "

" Loved Sahara Special, and this comes after. Miss Pointy is still their teacher. Absolutely love Codell! YA. "

" A little slow to get going, but definitely worth it. I really enjoyed this one when all the pieces came together. I definitely recommend it... don't let the beginning deter you! "

" Touching and sweet. I love books that feature intergenerational friendships. Paris is a thoughtful strong-willed and courageous character with realistic flaws. "

" It's OK but it's short. "

" This is really a 4.5. "

" I liked the voice of the protagonist, but I thought that every aspect of the star of David incident was unrealistic. Being the youngest child, and the only girl with older brothers, I empathized with Paris a lot. "

" very different from sahara although shares some characters; excellent writing "

" I liked the diverse characters in this book that continued over from the authors previous novel, Sahara Special. Deals with intergenerational relationships and the holocaust. "

" This was a funny novel about unfunny things. Very real, with a very believable narrator. I would love to teach this novel. "

" This is a very easy read that doesn't stretch the brain, but it has a good message. It's a feel-good time filler book. I enjoyed reading it. "

" I loved Sahara Special by this author and this follow up book. Paris is a wonderful character. How did you feel when you learned about the Holocaust? "

" I'm not sure whom this book is geared towards. I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult, but I think it would be far above the head of most 5th grade readers. And because the main character is in fifth grade, it might seem too young for a more sophisticated reader. "

" Really, really good. Unexpected and clever, but touching on some really very heavy things, but in a good way. For sure not for under 9 I would say. "
