The Girl with the Silver Eyes by Willo Davis Roberts

and her cat lobo and oh, yeah, she can talk to cats which is a much cooler power than telekinesis, if you ask me, but no one asks me, and then this man named mr. She has been living with her grandmother for years because her parents split up and couldn’t afford to care for her, but then her grandmother died and now she’s living with her mom and they barely know each other and her mom’s bf smokes and doesn’t seem to like kids and both of the babysitters her mom hires are lame and katie has a tendency to freak people out because of her eyes and her flat affect and also because she recklessly uses her powers to harass her sitters and this one grumpy dude in her building and she doesn’t have any friends except for the paperboy and the elderly mrs. Katie is a silver-eyed nine-year-old with magical powers that allow her to move things with her miiiiiind!! (it should be noted that baby-karen thought willo davis roberts was a man, probably because 'david' and 'robert' are typically names given to males, and baby-karen had some mild dyslexia when it came to names - for years, she introduced herself as 'karen brissette tiffany.' what a dope.)įirst, here is a detailed, medium-snarky synopsis - you decide if you wanna risk being spoiled on a 198-page book for kids written in 1980. also, i could set the dinner table while reading in my room and that would be rad. This book is great because she has SILVER EYES and that's so cool! also, she can throw rocks at people using her MIND, and i want to do that, too. unless there is a sequel to this book (and there is NOT), baby-karen imagined a whole bunch more to this book than ms.

in answer to the question 'does this book hold up?' this time, i gotta say 'no.' i'm keeping baby karen's star rating, since there's no way to preserve the two ratings, but adult-karen rates this lower.

As part of my personal reading challenges for 2017, once a month i will be revisiting a favorite book from when i was a little bitty karen and seeing if it holds up to my fond memories and determining if i can still enjoy it as an old and crotchety karen.
