Nudge this age group towards Richard Peck’s classic “A Long Way from Chicago” which features lovely interconnected stories about grandchild/grandparent relationships which will linger a lot longer than this awkwardly composed hi-lo novel.KJ Montgomery likes to take the ancient myths and legends and use them as a basis to weave a tale that both entertains and encourages the reader to think about what they’ve been taught about history. These kinds of stories usually work better when there is a little more finesse demonstrated in the relationship between the older and the younger person. While “Room 555” does what it purports to do, it’s also pretty clumsy about teaching a lesson about attitude and bias towards the elderly. Jasmine and Roonie share a true love of dance and Roonie is forced to rethink her attitude about “old people”. She says she prefers to remember how her grandmother was previously.Ī chance assignment to do volunteer hours in a hospital geriatric ward allows Roonie to meet Jasmine. She refuses to go with her parents and brother when they go to see her. As part of the Orca Currents series it is a short, high-interest novel written specifically for middle-school students reading below grade level.įourteen-year-old Roonie is terrified to visit her grandmother who must now live in supported care.
“Room 555” is one of those books that is best described as “good for you”.
