Rendition Concering Books Up a Road Slowly

Without a doubt, beyond compare, my favorite book ever. Up a Road Slowly is the book sent to me by my closest aunt the fall after my father died. It came with a note telling me how much she treasured the book and hoped that it would find a place in my heart too. Whether it was because the book came from such an influence in my life or because I was still emotionally raw when I read it, (or maybe because it's a Newberry Award winning novel,) Up a Road Slowly struck a chord within me that has never ceased to play on my heart. I try to read it once a year or so, and nearly twenty years later, it still speaks to me.

Up a Road Slowly is the coming-of-age story of Julie Trelling, a girl of seven who's sent to live with a spinster aunt in the country after her mother's death. The story follows her elementary school experiences of friendships forged and lost, classmates who are both mercilessly teased and teasers, and the painfully real outcasting of a mentally handicapped girl. The story of Julie's first love and its loss is poignant and completely relatable. (Who among us hasn't out of loneliness fancied a rather shoddy love into something beautiful?) My favorite passages in the book are the one in which Julie learns life's lessons. Irene Hunt, the author, has a way of injecting the truths I wish someone had told me in a way that is neither preachy or unbelievable.

Commentary Containing Books Up a Road Slowly

Well .... unfortunately I wasn't overly impressed with this book. For one thing, it bothered me that I couldn't quite ascertain the era in which the story takes place. The characters seemed to hold values of a bygone era (the importance for a woman to keep her house clean, the idea that it's a man's world [I think Uncle Haskell said that] & the notion that the aspiration of all young girls is to get married and become a good wife) and seemed old-fashioned even within the context of the

I had to read this for school but recently read it again. Loved it even more this time. A gentle book about growing up, with many life lessons along the way.

Up a Road Slowly is a fictional story set during the mid-1900s. Irene Hunt, the author of Up a Road Slowly, has written multiple novels including Across Five Aprils, The Lottery Rose, and No Promises in the Wind. Up a Road Slowly won the John Newbery Medal in 1967. Up a Road Slowly follows the story of Julie Trelling from the age of seven to eighteen. After her mother dies, seven-year-old Julie goes to live with her spinster aunt Cordelia in the country. In the beginning of the book, Julie sees

This book is a love story but also about a young girl that comes to grow up in the story. It takes place in the mid 1900s. She goes through tragic events, such as her mother dying, school problems, dating, and family issues. I definitely recommend this book if someone is looking for a book that would touch them and make them think about what they are doing in their lives. It really touched me and I've acted different with people ever since.

Read for 5420 classI am so thankful that jFics have come a long way since Up a Road Slowly was published in 1966 because this book was just awful. Firstly, the emotions Julie experiences are much too mature and nuanced for a seven-year-old, which doesn't lend verisimilitude to the narration, even though it is told from adult Julie's perspective. This adult point-of-view also lends a didactic tone to the overall story, which adds to the impatience and frustration I felt as I read Up a Road

I just finished this beautiful book again. And this time, I felt such a strong longing to know these characters personally. I love this book so much. This is such a beautiful coming of age stories. I've lost count of how many times I have read it. Beautiful.I just reread this. I love this book. Years after I initially read it and it still moves me. Love it.

I first read this book in high school, when I found it while shelving books at the public library (I have that job to thank for so many favorite reads!) and I'm sure I read it 5 times between then and graduating from college. I just reread this book for the first time since college this past week, and was not disappointed.This book is sweet, sincere and touching. Julie's innocent, earnest journey from confused seven-year-old to confident seventeen-year-old. In short, manageable chunks we observe
