		Bauer tells a story of a protagonist who will make many rejoice, for she is much like them.
		Joan Bauer made this book as if she was Ellie, living her life and her emotions; one thing that really made me roar with laughter included how Ellie told Max [her pumpkin] parts from motivational tapes of her father's.
		Bauer's talents, the whole party scene made me embarassed for Ellie; all of her feelings were mine, for that point in time.

		Bauer: Thanks for contacting me. It's always good to be asked questions about what I do because it makes me remember why I sit here at my computer with the world beckoning, slaving away in my cramped office.
		Bauer: I don't have a background in math and science, but I have a whale of a background in hanging out in pool halls when I was a teenager.
		Bauer: Jean Brown has been talking about me. Yes, I was terrified to write this book because it was more serious than my others and I was afraid people wouldn't let me change.

		Joan Bauer's great heart and dry wit is always a delight, especially in Hope Was Here and Rules of the Road.
		In her heartfelt and humorous novel, Bauer (Hope Was Here) leaves teenage girl protagonists in favor of a middle-grade boy as she did also in Sticks (1996).
		Bauer once again creates a clan of believable characters scrambling to make the best of their particular brand of dysfunction.

		I read author Joan Bauer's 2000 smash-hit, "Hope Was Here" not too long ago and found it to be a shallow two-dimensional work.
		She is not a typical teen in the least, though Bauer has attempted to make her a kind of everygirl.
		Bauer's trump card has always been her sense of humor.

		In Joan Bauer's Books there is usually a crush or romance or something along those lines.
		Some might say she is overly attached to her pumpkin, but I think a girl can name her pumpkin and have it listen to her fathers inspirational tapes if she wants to.
		It is an accomplishment for Joan Bauer to be extremely proud of, but I suppose she is used to it.

		Fun, folksy, and big-hearted, Joan Bauer's first novel for middle-grade readers is sweeter than a 90-degree bank shot off the rail and into the corner pocket.
		Bauer attempts to stack her deck with potentially colorful characters, but Mickey lacks the emotional spark needed to engage an audience and his contrived world leaves readers feeling unfulfilled.
		Though the somewhat offbeat subject matter may be a draw for some middle graders, fans of the light humor and breezy style of Bauer's earlier works are likely to be disappointed.

		Joan Bauer, who won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Rules of the Road, has served up a delicious novel in Hope Was Here, full of delectable characters, tasty wit, and deep-dish truth.
		Bauer (Rules of the Road; Squashed) serves up agreeable fare in this tale of a teenage waitress's search for a sense of belonging.
		Readers will recognize many of Bauer's hallmarks hereAa strong female protagonist on the road to self-discovery, quirky characters, dysfunctional families, a swiftly moving story, moments of bright humor.

		Ivy Breedlove is as unusual as most of Bauer's protagonists, but so is everything around her and everything she does, including her aunt's bird city and most of her winter mountain trek.
		Although not one of Joan Bauer's better books, it has her usual humorous writing and zany characters, the best of which is Mountain Mama, who takes every occasion to spout quotes and rules from the book she is writing.
		Backwater is more than a bit like Squashed (a girl with a dead mother and a father who doesn't understand her has a relative who understands how she feels), only with a more predictable story, and not as many funny and memorable moments.

		This led me to believe that Joan Bauer had written a book on par with the very best of YA fiction; unfortunately, what I instead discovered is that a wonderfully told story is no longer the standard by which these books are judged.
		Instead, awards are given to books that are thought to teach some valuable moral lesson; moreover, that lesson must be within the earnest guidelines of current (for it is ever-changing) political correctness.
		Joan Bauer describes it perfectly and in an exciting way that I've never thought about before.

	Backwater -- Joan Bauer S. November
		What Ivy wants to be is a historian, a vocation that's getting quite a workout as she prepares a family history in honor of her beloved great-aunt Tib's eightieth birthday.
		As in Bauer's Rules of the Road, the central story is of a journey: Ivy hikes into the wilds of the Adirondacks to find her reclusive aunt Jo-and to find her own destiny as well.
		In fact, the book could have used less preaching and more story overall, but Ivy is such a darned fine gal that readers will be glad to make her acquaintance.
