Description To Books Alive and Well in Prague, New York

Matisse Osgood is a New York City girl through and through. She buys her clothes at Andy's Cheapies, watches indie films at the Angelika, and wouldn't be caught dead on a hayride. But when her father gets sick and Matisse's parents decide to leave Man-hattan for a small town in upstate New York, her perfect world crumbles. As Matisse trudges through life in Prague, she dreams of waking up in her apartment on West 78th Street with a father who's well enough to walk with her in Central Park and a mother who doesn't pretend that everything is okay. When rumors surround Matisse at school and her father's symptoms worsen, Matisse realizes that the friends she's making in Prague are the kind you can count on. They help Matisse find the strength to reach out to her father, who may not be as far from her as she thought. And one particular farm boy shows Matisse that country living is a lot more magical than she ever imagined.

Notice Of Books Alive and Well in Prague, New York
Alive and well in Prague, New York is a heartwarming story of a girl dealing with a family crisis and being up-rooted as the family resettles in a small town. She tries to keep the fact that her dad has Parkinsons disease a secret but nasty rumors start flying. As with many books in the teen reality genre the book explores the meaning of friendship as well as the challenges of coping with parents in denial. The other teens are not well fleshed out but they do have their own family problems that

This is a typical fish out of water story that follows Matisse, a sarcastic teen from Manhattan who moves to a country town in upstate New York because her father wants to live at a slower pace after he is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. As a novel, it's almost too painfully realistic; without the glimmers of humor and warmth that normally make a painful story rewarding to read.

I teetered between 2 and 3 stars. Maybe 2 1/2? This is a teen novel that tells the story of a young girl whose family moves from the big city to a small town after her father is diagnosed with Parkinson's. The main character has style and sass, but to me came across as a little whiny and overindulged. It's totally clean and captures the awkwardness of high school (and unpredictable romance), so I would wholeheartedly recommend it to a junior high reader. It just didn't have enough to hold my

Grab, Daphne. 2008. Alive and Well in Prague, New York.Matisse Osgood is our struggling narrator. She's unhappy that she's had to move from New York City to Prague, New York. She's upset that her father has Parkinson's disease. She's frustrated with having to start a new school and make new friends. The truth is Matisse has very little control over her own life, and everything is changing so quickly. Too much is going on at once. It's too hard for her to absorb, to accept. But life has a habit

A good look at a girl dealing with her father's Parkinson's Disease as well as a move from New York City to a small town in upstate New York. Vivid characters, and Grab does a good job portraying anguish and hurt.

Matisse Osgood is the daughter of a painter and a sculptor, so its no wonder shes named after an artist. But tragedy strikes her family when her father topples from a ladder and gets a concussion. It turns out that he has nerve damage and is diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. That prompts the family to move from New York City to small town Prague, which breaks Matisses heart because she has to leave behind the city she loves. And moving doesnt seem to help anything at all. Her father is still
