From the perspective of an adult, Rudy Miller is still the kind of kid who will make you grin even as you’re tearing your hair out trying to deal with him. From the perspective of a ten or eleven year old, Gordon Korman has crafted a masterpiece of children’s storytelling. What works for I Want to Go Home is its knack for comedic timing, its sheer eventfulness, and the excellent placement of character stereotypes for maximum impact. “Why do you immediately assume that I’m guilty?” asked Rudy in a hurt tone.Ĭhip was taken aback. A lot of what sounded hilarious back in the day sounds like immature name calling now. Pero 'I Want to go home' no tiene nada de eso. Cualquier libro juvenil, hoy en día, tiene una moraleja, un aprendizaje, una evolución del protagonista. Aún así guardo mi copia como un tesoro por lo que me reí al leerlo y por lo inusual que es su historia. Reading it again 16 years later, the book just wasn’t as funny, (although, admittedly, that’s a pretty high bar.) That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it – each scene is still indelibly etched in my mind, and I still love them all. Así que te llegará un libro desgastado de los años 70 u 80. And each time I read it, it had me in splits from start to end.
I must have read this book a 150 times in my lifetime. Together, the two of them go out of their way to make life at Camp Algonkian as disruptive as possible for everybody else.Ĭhild me gave this book 5 stars. Mike Webster also hates camp, and finds his only solace in the company of non-conformist, poker faced Rudy. Synopsis: Rudy Miller hates camp, but has been forced to go by his school’s guidance counsellor, who feels that Rudy would benefit greatly from some socialization. “Well,” said Chip, still smiling, “dinner’s in ten minutes.” Cover Art for I Want to Go Home by Gordan Korman
