Guest Posting by Bethany M. (11th grader) for Chopsticks by Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral


What was your impression of the book? Good
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Yes

What was your favorite part?
I liked when Glory was constantly being sent trinkets and memorabilia by her love, Francisco. It is the epitome of both love and separation. 

Who was your favorite character? Why?
I liked Francisco. He was the main character, Glory's new love. As they are torn apart by fame and distance itself, he keeps certain to remember Glory.

Write a small summary:

Gloria Fleming, a young piano prodigy, had a blossoming career and a flourishing (unapproved) love life. After being taken to doctors and rest institutions, Glory is classified as missing. Her love of Francisco,  a young artist new to her school, may be all that can keep her sane.

Additional feedback:

Although I am not a fan of graphic novels (usually), I loved Chopsticks. It was both haunting and romantic and offered a peek into the characters lives unseen in ordinary books of text.
