Navigating Early by Clare Vanderpool...website
Okay, I will also have to read her 2011 Newberry Award winner, Moon Over Manifest. There is a reason they are award winning!
Navigating Early
9/10
What a great story! I so enjoyed reading this adventure. I am all about connections in life! This book is about connections. I love that this story has a connection to math! I can't wait to read her Newbery Award winner! I love that her title has more and more meaning as you read the story. As a writer she tells how she came up with her ideas and gives a little more information on π. It joins back into our Mark Twain theme relating to events...π and WWII. It is written in 1st person.
On to figurative language…you know it is in there!!!
Personification:…obviously π. throughout the entire story
“Because the dog tags contradicted everything in my head that said Fisher could not be Early’s brother.”
Idiom: “…and we packed our stuff without a word.”
“Don’t pour salt in the wound, or you’ll never get the taste out of your mouth.”
Onomatopoeia: '"What is hat stuff?" I grumbled.'
'"Shh." Eustasia Johannsn help up a hand, her attention..'
'"Shh." Eustasia Johannsn help up a hand, her attention..'
