#CAROLINE B COONEY LIFE CODE#

At least she did in her earlier books, which is all weвЂ™ve been reading lately. Even the nasty characters in Three Black Swans had some redeeming nuance eventually. Actually, the lack of evil altogether was strange to me. All alone! With the rats and chain-wearing thugs! (Chains and rats, my hand to God.) One girl they do this to goes insane.

In one of CooneyвЂ™s early books, the evil twin and her tear-eating boyfriend practice their evilness by driving poor little white Connecticut girls into the inner city, letting them out of the car, and then leaving them there. CooneyвЂ™s books, the city is nearly always made out of evil and death. A non-evil character likes New York City and enjoys visiting it. But she still says вЂњhe logged on to the internet.вЂќДў. Cooney, she of the milk carton radio shows, to be talking about viral Youtube videos. I donвЂ™t mind, but it does feel weird for Caroline B. Indie Sister was hugely displeased to find a recent edition of The Girl Who Invented Romance that had been updated with cell phones and a reference to abortion. Cooney books are set in the 1980s and 1990s, and as such do not have new-fangled gadgets like the Twitter and the Facebook. Some reasons Three Black Swans was unlike many of Caroline B. CooneyвЂ™s books are set in the Connecticut suburbs), a girl called Genevieve Candler sees a video of two girls who look so much like her itвЂ™s eerie. Meanwhile, in far-away Connecticut or someplace (I donвЂ™t remember, but ConnecticutвЂ™s a good guess, all of Caroline B. When Missy and ClaireвЂ™s parents see it, they are strangely upset, and Missy and Claire become gradually more and more certain that their parents are hiding something. The video where they announce this lie becomes a viral hit on YouTube. In response to a science assignment to invent and perpetuate a hoax, Missy convinces her older cousin Claire (who goes to a different school in a different state) to come to MissyвЂ™s school and pretend that she is MissyвЂ™s long-lost twin. Three Black Swans is cut from the same cloth. Cooney, it is probably not because of her actually best books, Among Friends and Twenty Pageants Later and The Girl Who Invented Romance (donвЂ™t judge, they are amazing), but for her Face on the Milk Carton series, about the girl who sees a picture of her four-year-old self in a missing persons ad on the side of a milk carton.

The real reason I didnвЂ™t read Dash and LilyвЂ™s Book of Dares before giving it to Mumsy is that I was too busy reading Three Black Swans before giving it to Indie Sister. Cooney, which is why I had to get her a CBC book for Christmas. But in truth, Indie Sister unironically loves Caroline B.

Cooney will read her letter and think that Indie Sister is eight years old, mentally challenged, or mercilessly mocking her (excerpt: вЂњMy other favorite of your books was Code Orange, because scabs are gross - ewвЂќ). Over the Christmas holiday, she even wrote a letter to Caroline B. Indie Sister would walk five miles in the snow to get a Caroline B. Indie Sister and I are painfully addicted to Caroline B.
