Finding Audrey

Product Information

Which of these you prefer completely depends on your personal interpretation of a book and your experience with the topic that the story is dealing with. In my opinion, both choices are equally valid, as long as the author stays respectful. Just a thing : Linus? What's this name? I kept thinking "Linux" and that was just so weird *shakes head* The reason I didn't give this book a full five star rating is (HERE COMES THE SPOILER PART) we never found out what really happened that triggered Audrey's anxiety. Oh, and - the dialogues are fantastic and feel real. Hilarious. I know, I have to stop using that word. Someday (not when I talk about Kinsella) I turn to see Dad joining the fray, and a couple of neighbours are stepping out of their front doors. This is officially a Neighbourhood Incident.

I absolutely loved the humour and family aspect of this book. The mother was intense and annoying sometimes, but mostly I found her arguments with Audrey's brother, Frank, supremely funny. Watch my video review or read on for the written review :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mD7V... My thoughts are speeding up and my pace is speeding up too, and I'm pulling at my arms, pulling at the flesh of my forearms, trying to...I don't know.. I don't understand it. I glance in the mirror and flinch at my own wild stare. I can feel a weird sparking all over my body, like I'm more alive than I should be, like my body is over-loaded with life force. Can you have too much life stuffed into one body? Because that's what this feels like. And everything's too fast. My heart, my thoughts, my feet, my clawing arms..." Seriously amazing, and amazingly serious, Finding Audrey stands out amongst other books in the YA genre for being realistic, which is my highest praise. I hope Kinsella continues to write for young adults, because we sure do need more books like this on the shelves!

An outstanding tragicomedy that gently explores mental illness, the lasting effects of bullying, and the power of friends and loving family to help in the healing." I owe a lot to the first two people who friend requested me (I can't even remember their names, and honestly, I feel terrible about it.) Even though they didn't know it, they gave me that little push I needed to start again. Practicing.” Frank shrugs. “I was practicing,” he repeats to Mum with emphasis. “I have a tournament coming up! You’ve always said I should have a goal in life! Well, I have!” While Audrey was the MC, the book focused not just on her, but on her family and their ups and downs together as well. She has 2 brothers, an older one named Frank and a 4 year old named Felix. I both adored and was very annoyed by Audrey's parents. They made for some hilarious conversation. The winners of the Diverse Book Awards 2023 have been announced, with one winner from each of the four categories announced: Picture book, Children...Hits just the right note, finding comedy, without making light of the issues its characters are facing. Newcastle Herald (Australia) As I said, I adored the humour but I also wished more of the story was concentrated on Audrey and her struggles. I couldn't fully connect with Audrey because we don't actually know what happened to her. An incident which started all this keeps getting referred to, and even Audrey hints at it, almost tauntingly, but it's never explained!??! This time, though, I don’t think Mum or Dad has even heard Rob’s oh-so-witty joke. Mum is still moaning “Where did I go wroooong?” and Dad is peering at her anxiously.
