书籍介绍
An 11-year-old boy living in Memphis in 1959 throws the meanest fastball in town, but talking is a whole different ball game. He can barely say a word without stuttering, not even his own name. So when he takes over his best friend's paper route for the month of July, he knows he'll be forced to communicate with the different customers, including a housewife who drinks too much and a retired merchant marine who seems to know just about everything.
The paper route poses challenges, but it's a run-in with the neighborhood junkman, a bully and thief, that stirs up real trouble--and puts the boy's life, as well as that of his family's devoted housekeeper, in danger.

terrificly touching
原版书看多了真的能分出好坏，相比刚看的阿尔吉侬这本书文笔实在是一言难尽，遣词造句难以理解，且没有震撼，故事也很庸俗，有点浪费时间的意思。
很治愈的成长故事。为口吃困扰的男孩在送报纸的过程中遇见了各种各样的人，变得更加勇敢学会了接受自己。
gr 3.97 | so this is what feels like when you listen to an audiobook read in your own language like newbery stories based on the authors' childhood memories albeit some of them are not quite appealing
非常现实，而且比较励志
不知道是不是看的太快的原因，总觉得故事发展到后半段有些奇怪，尤其是高潮处，Ara T的许多行为我都不是很能理解，不过也有可能是历史文化背景的隔阂造成的。总的来说作为儿童读物还是不错的，成年人看可能会些许无聊了些，不过是本还不错的英文入门读物。
