A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Reviewers praise Caroline B. Cooney:

Both Sides of Time:

"Romantics will be caught up by the story and will catch their breath at the cliff-hanger of an ending."
--Booklist

"Cooney has written not only a love story, a time-travel fantasy, and a murder mystery, but also a provocative and powerful examination of women, marriage and relationships in two centuries."
--School Library Journal

The Face on the Milk Carton:

"It's a gripper. You can't put it down until you've gone through the whole trauma with Janie Johnson, from that first moment of horrified recognition to the thoroughly satisfying conclusion."
--Entertainment Weekly

Whatever Happened to Janie?:

*"Readers left on the edge of their seats at the conclusion of The Face on the Milk Carton will race to get their hands on this equally gripping sequel....The power of love is wrenchingly illustrated throughout this provocative novel, which expresses multiple points of view with remarkable understanding."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred

The Voice on the Radio:

*"Cooney's outstanding command of emotional tension has taken this novel to extraordinary heights."
--School Library Journal, Starred

*"Readers of Cooney's addictive The Face on the Milk Carton and Whatever Happened to Janie? can start licking their chops.... Cooney seems to have a special radar for adolescent longings and insecurities, not to mention campus chic."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred

Twenty Pageants Later:

"Brisk writing, plenty of backstage nitty-gritty and the nearly irresistible glamour of the pageants themselves will keep readers turning the pages."
--Publishers Weekly

Drivers Ed:

"Wonderfully written, and very realistic. Reluctant readers as usual will find this author tops."
--Voice of Youth Advocates

Extrait

Laced up by corset strings and bound by a forced engagement to a stuffy English lord named Hugh-David Winded, Devonny Stratton barely has room to breathe. More spirited than her nineteenth-century peers, Devonny tries to fight back. But is the Victorian Era too much for any woman?

"There are uses for Americans," said Miles.

"No," said Hugh-David, "one use. Money."

Devonny now understood all too well. She stormed out onto the porch. "Who do you think you are, you pitiful excuse for a man?" she shouted at Lord Winden.

Three mouths gaped open in shock above their starched collars.

"You can't even earn a living!" yelled Devonny. She felt herself getting taller and thinner, literally towering with rage.

The Englishmen got to their feet quickly, because one stood in the presence of a lady, even a screaming, misbehaving lady.

"You haven't asked me to marry you, Hugh-David Winden, and I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on earth! I will marry a man with spunk, and you are horse manure!"
