A review by msguerrette
Hokey Pokey by Jerry Spinelli

3.0

I liked this book, overall. I think Spinelli was masterful (again) in crafting the story. I'm not sure about a recommended audience though, because I don't think it will have kid-appeal for my students. They will, I fear, not connect to the nostalgic feeling he creates because they are too close to it. A gift book, maybe...but for who? Teen? Recent high school grads? Hard to say. I think this book will be more satisfying to adults than children.
