The Transcriber: Open Door (Gemma)
Autor Kristen Wituckien Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2013 – vârsta de la 14 până la 17 ani
Louis's sister, Emily, is blind. She’s also in the marching band, sculpts, and has the biggest bedroom in the house to accommodate her Braille machine. Everyone thinks her accomplishments are extraordinary, and most think that she can do no wrong. The single person who doesn't feel awe--or pity--for her is Louis, who wishes people would just stop comparing them. He wants his own life. Only a family tragedy can begin to bridge the widening gap between brother and sister.

Recenzii
“… sharp, unsentimental, funny, and enlightening in sneaky ways. A family story narrated by the pesky brother of a blind sister, The Transcriber leads us out into deep waters. It’s one of those rare books that can change the way you view the world. I love this book. "
- Joan Silber, The Size of the World and Ideas of Heaven
...clear, straightforward sentences that are simple to understand yet filled with meaning. The tone of this book is conversational yet brisk. The reader has the sense that the narrator is speaking directly to him/her, and is doing so with honesty. Because the narrator is a child, though, the reader is able to understand aspects of the story he does not, which adds depth and poignancy. -Nicole Haroutunian, http://ourbooksarebetterthanweare.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/the-transcriber-by-kristen-witucki/
