Upon completion of the book, I am dying to return to the island and perhaps run into a famous Spanish tennis player of my own!īelow are some questions to spark a conversation about the novel. And even though I have visited beautiful Mallorca, it was years ago and all I did was lie on the beach and get burned to a crisp. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and watching the drama that unfolded on their vacation. ![]() In any case, what did you think? Personally, I found the book to be a lovely escape from reality. So, how did you do? Were you able to finish reading the book in its entirety? I introduced the book by calling it the perfect beach read and we held our own Freutcake Book Club meeting on the beach, but perhaps you indulged in a different way – under the covers, while waiting at the doctor’s office, or in between class or work breaks.

As her irritation grows, she smashes, jams, and pummels pieces together. ![]() For example, the girl doesn’t simply make, fix, or mend she saws, glues, and adjusts. The text hums with description, as Spires employs a rich vocabulary to tell readers what the girl is up to. With the help of her canine assistant, she is going to make the most magnificent thing She knows just how it will look. Throughout, the dog acts like a Greek chorus, expressing and amplifying what the girl feels or thinks. ![]() Spires includes some clever visual twists to engage early readers: the girl’s hands grow as she becomes more frustrated, making her movements less effective and causing her to feel farther away from her goal with every iteration of the magnificent thing. One day the girl decides she is going to make something “magnificent.” Unfortunately, the project doesn’t come together as quickly or easily as hoped, and it’s up to her trusty canine assistant to help her find the perspective she needs to finish the job amid her growing frustration. The inseparable pair plays, eats, explores, and relaxes together.
