OUTTAH THE DUST,
By a 13 yr old (NYC,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scholastic Literature Guide: Out of the Dust (Paperback)
I honestly could not stand this book. I had to read this book as an assignment. Every night before I went to bed I was able to read less than 10 pages before I fell asleep from boredom. Hesse did do a good job describing the dust bowl, esspecially for not having lived there. Don't judge Hesse by this one book though, Music of Dolphins is a great book. The other titles by Hesse that you should stay away from are Letters From Rifka and Walk Two Moons, for they both were boring beyond comparsion (except to each other)

A reader from Arkansas,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scholastic Literature Guide: Out of the Dust (Paperback)
This was one of the most compelling and spellbinding books I have read. I am a teacher, and I could not put it down. Billie Jo lives during the dustbowl years of the 1930s. She not only has to live with the overwhelming loss of her mother and baby brother but also with the scarred hands that keep her from the one thing she loves-playing the piano. Written in poetic form, it is heartwrenching and touching. It is her strength of character that saves this young girl and her father. A must for young teens and also a must for the classroom library.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Something so great,
This review is from: Scholastic Literature Guide: Out of the Dust (Paperback)
The book Out of the Dust is amazing to me. I found something that I can relate a lot of my emotions to. It gave me a new love for poetry! It uses it so efficiently!
