Praise
“An impressive achievement… “This Boy” is a wonderful primer for the kind of kid who is nuts enough about music to want to grasp the social context in which it was made.”—The New York Times
★“Generously illustrated with period photographs, the beautifully written result is fascinating and compulsively readable, as Cooper dramatically demonstrates that, together, [John Lennon and Paul McCartney] made magic.”—Booklist, starred review
★”Illuminating reading for dreamers and doers already attuned to beats of their own.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ “Cooper masterfully weaves the very different but overlapping lives of [Lennon and McCartney]…Lennon’s prickly personality and wild wordplay, compounded by his chaotic family life, is contrasted with McCartney’s loving extended family and his meticulous dedication to craft…An amazing trove of contemporaneous snapshots of the boys and their milieu round out the compelling narrative…A WWII book, a rock ‘n’ roll book, a buddy adventure…Highly recommended for middle graders and middle schoolers.”—School Library Journal, starred review
