Papa is Leo’s father.He’s old, tall, has dark black hair, and he doesn’t express his feelings often. He loves to act, but he’s very self conscience. Leo is a twelve-year old boy is a dreamer and artistic. This book takes place in present day time in a regular town with schools and suburbs. This was my first time seeing this in a book, but I enjoyed it very much. The author has a different format of her text than other authors. The book Replay by Sharon Creech is an entertaining, exciting, and relatable for the average young adult. Aw better change my rating to five stars, because there's a good chance I WILL read it again.maybe to my students. I HIGHLY recommend it.along with anything else by Sharon Creech.
There was a little ache behind my heart for Leo all the way through. This book is such a tender, coming of age story (I hesitate to use that hackneyed phrase).but Leo DOES learn so much about his family and himself in this wonderful little gem of a book. I, too, used to listen to the grown-ups talk and come away with more questions than answers. I, too, sometimes felt invisible and over-run by my larger-than-life (to me!) siblings. I, too, used to hide away in secret places and rewrite my life in daydreams. I, too, grew up in a large, noisy family where I sometimes felt lost in the thundering herd. I connected with this quick, easy read in so many ways. Well, guess what? The fish on the cover is a sardine because Leo's large, loud, demanding Italian family calls him "Sardine" and "Fog Boy." Sardine because once ".when relatives were over, shouting and laughing and shaking their fists, Leo got squashed in a corner and cried, and when they asked him why he was crying, he said, 'I'm just a little sardine, squashed in a tin.' " The name stuck. I mean, a FISH? I didn't want to read a book about fishing. I've had it on my shelf to read forever.but I think I was put off by the cover. I have loved everything I've ever read that she wrote. Sharon Creech has to be one of my all-time favorite authors.
