A girl, blinded by the auto accident that killed her mother, comes to terms with her disability--and her new life. “This is a sensitive and well-told story, inhabited by appealing and believable characters, and given a twist by the unexpected element of the supernatural. ( ) Mandy's life changed in an instant. A car crash took from her, her mother and her sight. Now she is sent to live with great aunts and uncles she had no idea even existed. This book starts out very promising as the reader struggles with Mandy and her new handicap but quickly becomes a let down despite a very unique twist with Mandy's past. The author seemed very despirate to get to the end and the book feels rushed with half developed plots and flat characters. The book leaves the reader asking more questions then were answered. "The Window" by Jeanette Ingold is about a young girl named Mandy who loses her sight after being in a car crash. The crash also killed her mother, and now Mandy goes to live with elderly relatives who she never knew existed. How will Mandy deal with her blindness? Being able to see is always something that I took for granted until I read this book. Jeanette Ingold's descriptions of Mandy trying to do simple things, such as pick out clothing or find a classroom, really suck you in. I'm also glad how the author included scenes where Mandy faced people who acted like she was beneath them. I think this book not only reminds us what we take for granted, but also that people who have such handicaps are just normal people trying to get through the day like the rest of us. I recommend it to all. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
