![]() Chang, especially towards the end of the novel when Julia realizes that they share something in common. I loved reading her relationship with Mrs. Their interactions in the story were easily the bits of the novel that stole the spotlight.Īctually, Julia’s interactions with other characters just felt very genuine and spot on. Julia’s loss of her beloved dog, Ramon, causes her to feel so much sadness, but in her sadness you see a beautiful young woman developing understanding, especially when it comes to Olive, another Munchkin in the production of Wizard of Oz who has dwarfism. There’s a lot of beauty in the way in which she understands the world around her. Julia wants to know anything and everything, and it’s so apparent in the story to the reader that she is nothing if not filled with good intentions. ![]() She’s curious, endearing, kind and understanding. Julia’s narrative is absolutely infectious. In fact, I love the dual meaning of the title given that this book refers to life being “too short” and that Julia is in fact “short.” Short is her latest effort, and it’s a pretty endearing little story of life, death, and friendship. ![]() I have heard nothing by praise for Holly Goldberg Solan’s Counting by 7s, and it’s a book I’ve been meaning to get to (and will, I hope!). ![]()
