The Daydreamer
New York: Harpertrophy. Fine 1996. Paperback. Marfree acidfree; not written-in underlined club remainder or ex-library. Light foredge stain. Mail SAMEDAY! From Booklist Gr. 4-7. What if our worst fears or perhaps our dearest wishes actually happened Right here in the backyard. There's a nightmarish sense of the domestic transformed in these interconnected stories about a 10-year-old loner. When Peter is quiet it's because he's having ""the weirdest"" adventures in his head. They're experiences that grow out of the clutter of the kitchen drawer or the bombardment at the breakfast table. He loves his parents but they crowd him. What would happen if he used vanishing cream How would it feel to swap bodies with a cat with a baby with a grown-up To actually viscerally be those creatures and still have your 10-year-old consciousness The episode about the defeat of a bully is unconvincing and at the end Peter is too articulate about being on the edge of adulthood. But British author McEwan whose prizewinning adult novels have been filmed; 0.61 x 9.05 x 6.03; 192 pages . Harpertrophy paperback
