Recenzii
Praise
forSix
Impossible
Things:
*
"Told
in
Dan's
voice,
the
narrative
reveals
a
young
man
whose
sardonic
view
of
himself
and
those
around
him
provides
an
amused
but
angst-filled
tone.
There
is
situational
humor,
as
well,
in
cinematic-like
scenes,
particularly
in
the
classroom...
Imagery
is
another
of
this
novel's
strengths.
Dan
expresses
his
outsider
status
as
being
like
a
lemon
rolling
down
an
apple
chute...
The
story's
charming
and
unique
characters
really
carry
the
day.
Readers
will
care
about
the
teens
who
struggle
to
come
of
age."—VOYA
(starred
review)"School dances, first dates, and sneaking out are just some of the high school hijinks that are humorously depicted with a fresh perspective...Snappy dialogue, charming characters, even pacing, and poignant sentence-level writing make this offering a must-have."—SLJ
"With sensitivity and humor, Wood (Wildlife) traces the roller-coaster life of a boy in the midst of significant upheaval. Dan's honesty, smarts, and earnest efforts to do good may not earn him any popularity points at school, but they will win readers' affection and admiration."—PW
"Australian author Wood (Wildlife, 2014) has created a pitch-perfect teen voice in Dan's first-person narrative. He's by turns sorrowful, impulsive, caring, and funny, with occasionally brilliant turns of phrase: "I feel like a lemon rolling down the apple chute." It's refreshing to see a romance from a teen boy's perspective, and Dan is a Romeo to root for."—Booklist
"This romance is effervescent and sweet, but it offers welcome substance along with the sparkle."—Kirkus Reviews
"Readers will fall hard for this total (and totally adorable) nerd...[Dan is a] truly decent and funny protagonist."—Horn Book
"An engaging, funny, touching and oh-so-real feeling tale. Teen characters in a romance have not felt so alive to me since I readEleanor & Park."—Josh Sundquist, author of We Should Hang Out Sometime and Just Don't Fall
"I loved this book so much I wanted to be in it."—Kaz Cooke, author of Girl Stuff and Women's Stuff
