Praise for The Starlite Drive-In, Marjorie Reynoldsrs"s "stunning debut"* and one of the ALArs"s Top Ten Best Books for Young Adults:"A story of confinement and entrapment, and of events that can free the spirit at long last." - Publishers Weekly"A believable tale about real people, likely to engage the memory chords of any reader." - Orange County Register"Start with a drive-in movie theater in the 1950s. Add a starstruck and lonely 12-year old girl, and a handsome drifter, and you have all the makings for a coming-of-age romance. But Marjorie Reynolds...added a twist. And there lies this first novel's strength. Callie Anne Dicksen gets a call that bones have been found at the Starlite Drive-In, which is being razed for a new housing development. Callie knows immediately who they belong to, and begins to remember that summer of 1956, when she was just 12 and her whole life changedhellip;Told from Callie's perspective, [The Starlite Drive-In] captures that childlike innocence and wisdom perfectly." - Richmond Times-Dispatch"Callie Anne is akin to the impressionable heroine of To Kill a Mockingbird...The Starlite Drive-In is wise in the ways in which families adjust their views of reality to survive." - Boston Sunday Herald"Fusing Callie Anne's coming of age with a tragic love story, Marjorie Reynolds tidily explores the gap between fantasy and reality in her surely told first novel." - New York Times Book Review"Reynolds creates a genuine and engaging young narrator in Callie Anne and maintains heat and suspense on every page." - Detroit Free Press"A sweetly unpretentious tale of a defining summer that taught a young girl too much about love and life...accomplished." - Kirkus Reviews"Perfect vacation entertainment." - Seattle Times"With a storyteller's skill, she deftly juggles the momentum of her plot and a richly diverse cast of characters...delightful episodes of comic relief...Reynolds firmly controls her story to the final compelling end and never succumbs to the temptation to dip into maudlin sentimentality." - *Rocky Mountain News

Download and read online ebook Last Dance on the Starlight Pier write by Sarah Bird. This book was released on 2022-04-12. Last Dance on the Starlight Pier available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Set during the Great Depression, Sarah Bird's Last Dance on the Starlight Pier is a novel about one woman—and a nation—struggling to be reborn from the ashes. July 3. 1932. Shivering and in shock, Evie Grace Devlin watches the Starlite Palace burn into the sea and wonders how she became a person who would cause a man to kill himself. She’d come to Galveston to escape a dark past in vaudeville and become a good person, a nurse. When that dream is cruelly thwarted, Evie is swept into the alien world of dance marathons. All that she has been denied—a family, a purpose, even love—waits for her there in the place she dreads most: the spotlight. Last Dance on the Starlight Pier is a sweeping novel that brings to spectacular life the enthralling worlds of both dance marathons and the family-run empire of vice that was Galveston in the Thirties. Unforgettable characters tell a story that is still deeply resonant today as America learns what Evie learns, that there truly isn’t anything this country can’t do when we do it together. That indomitable spirit powers a story that is a testament to the deep well of resilience in us all that allows us to not only survive the hardest of hard times, but to find joy, friends, and even family, in them.
