This collection of short stories might have plenty of variety but it is all written with great mastery of a form that eludes some writers. Here the reader's attention is grabbed through a number of different ways including thriller, ghost story as well as insights into the social world of 19th century French life. To pick out a selection from the first third of the book to give a flavour is not too difficult. Simon's Dad is a heart warming tale of a boy seeking a father to end the bullying at school and as a result ending years of shame and pain for his mother by landing his mother a husband. You find your heart swelling at the end of the story as Simon informs his bullies that their days of targeting him are over. Then you get a change in mood with the story that gives the title to the collection, A Day in the Country, providing a girl from a shopkeeping family with a moment of love that she can never forget. Her bawdy mother and ineffectual father are used brilliantly to illustrate the difference between those working in the suburbs and country folk. That difference between the country and the city is also picked up in the story Riding Out which sees a man keen to show his family he can ride knocking down an old woman as he loses control of his steed in central Paris. If there was a theme to the first third of the collection it might have been countryside and the second has stories that make various references to money. The Necklace describes the costs that borrowing and losing a necklace have on one couple only for them to discover at the end of a decade spent clearing their debts that it wasn't worth a great deal of money. Penny pinching is on display again in The Umbrella where a woman wants her husband to have a good umbrella but is not prepared to pay for that. As his work colleagues ruin the cheap ones that he turns up to work with she would rather claim on the insurance than pay out for a proper umbrella. That ability to pierce a side of someone's character is on display again with Bed 29 where a proud and vain solider is unable to show compassion for an old lover struck down with syphillis. Happy to be seen with her when she was beautiful he has no words of comfort for her when she is ill. The last third of the book contains some of the longer and darker stories. The Little Roque Girl is an account of the discovery of a murdered girl and then the unravelling of the Major's mind. Responsible for her rape and death he finally loses his mind after being haunted by her ghost. Our Spot is also fairly dark showing off the agression of a couple that lose their fishing spot on the river bank. Their anger at losing out results in the death of the rival fisherman but as the court case recounts the anger and death is more by accident and the fisherman is aquitted. A great collection of stories that provoke various reactions but come from a writer clearly able to turn his pen at will to deliver stories of very quality.

The protagonist of this short novel is Dave Packer, a 5th grade boy. This book is centered around a bet that Dave makes with Lynsey, a girl in his class, about whether boys or girls talk more. The notoriously talkative group decides to have a competition about who can say the least words over 48 hours. They make specific rules about when you can and cannot talk, and decide that it is acceptable only to speak to teachers, and only when you are spoken to, and only in three word phrases. This makes for a very interesting couple of days for his elementary school. This book is a pretty easy read, but brings up some interesting ideas, including peaceful protest and Ghandi, the value of different kids and amounts of communications, and how the way you react to something (like the principal) can make all of the difference. Considering the simplicity of the style of writing, the characters were fairly well-rounded, and humor and thought provoking parts were balanced well. This would make a great read-aloud and would probably be most interesting to students in grades 3-5, but some middle school students would be interested as well. There are a few pencil illustrations that really capture the scene and add to the humor, such as the illustration of the principal spitting into her bullhorn at lunch. The fact that a lot of the dialogue is written in 3-word chunks, in accordance with the contest, but still illustrations the point of the speaker well, makes for an interesting spin on dialogue. Again, this would make a great read-aloud in an intermediate classroom. It could serve as a good springboard for conversation about getting along and working together, as the boys and girls eventually do come to peace, as does the protagonist and the principal who initially banned the lack of speaking. While this book would appear to most students, I think some reluctant boy readers would enjoy the humor in these books specifically. However, it is definitely not a gender-specific book.
