نقد و بررسی
Best friends Tara Starr and Elizabeth continue the correspondence detailing the trials and tribulations of family and middle-school life begun in P.S. Longer Letter Later. Both families enter the computer world, enabling the girls to correspond by email. This could not be a more timely book. As we see email woven into the fabric of middle-school students' lives, it is high time that it's woven into book format. In fact, Danziger and Martin crafted the story via email. As readers, the authors are superb. Who could know Elizabeth and Tara better or how they will respond to each joy and crisis? Danziger and Martin are genuine and fresh. Their intimate involvement with each character makes for a flowing presentation. The listener shares the immediacy of each email message as it is opened and read. Kudos to the authors for a great listening experience! A.R. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
Starred review from February 28, 2000
With just a glance at the cover of this alternately funny and poignant sequel, fans of Danziger and Martin's P.S. Longer Letter Later will know that pen pals Tara*Starr and Elizabeth have entered the 21st century. The best buddies, whose friendship evolved from daily visits to eagerly anticipated missives sent via postal carrier in the first novel, now have traded pencil for mouse. Danziger and Martin make the most of e-mail technology. When Tara*Starr's mother encounters a bumpy point in her pregnancy, readers sense the tension mounting as Elizabeth's barrage of concerned "instant messages" goes unanswered; at one point, Tara*Starr even chides Elizabeth that she probably prefers the more deliberate nature of letter-writing to e-mail. With electronic correspondence spanning Elizabeth's summer visit to Tara's new Ohio home, the start of eighth grade, friendships with boys that metamorphose into more and weightier family issues, this book speaks just as authentically to middle graders as the authors' previous title did. The two characters approach life differently enough that there will likely be a response or suggestion that resonates with every reader, and both heroines share one important trait: they are all heart. Ages 8-12.
