8/10
Text features in fiction twice in this book. Both had to do with the same contest the character was entering. This is not a common feature in fiction chapter books.
The book had a lot of themes going on in it, photography, friendship, dementia, conservation, etc. They came together in the end. A lot of the themes were highlighted in the contest categories. I kept waiting for the title meaning to pop up in the book and it finally did on page 203. After I finished reading it, I thought of several more ways that the title was relevant. It was an enjoyable read, but not earth-shattering.
Did It Fit Our Overall Mark Twain Nominee Themes????
Lucy had a traditional family except for the fact that dad was a traveling photographer who spent a lot of time away. They had just moved to a lake where most people only live during the summer and they were becoming year round residents, Lucy didn't have any real struggles, just the normal teenage stuff.
I made a video on youtube of me using this book to record ideas in my writer's notebook:
