More About This Book

Overview

Savannah would be happy spending the summer working at the library and reading. But then she meets Jackson, who Savannah's convinced is the one. At first it looks like she's right. He abides by her mama's strict rules and stays by her side when she is hospitalized for severe asthma, which Savannah believes is improving only because Jackson is there. But when Jackson is called away to help his family, Savannah has to learn to breathe on her own, both literally and figuratively.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In Herbsman's debut novel, 15-year-old Savannah Brown is contending with a strict but loving mother as well as frequent, serious asthma attacks, something she inherited from her long-absent father, Trip ("he tripped right on out of our lives when I was barely out of diapers"). Savannah, who needs constant medical care and attention, begins a relationship with an older boy from out of town, and her mother is more than a little protective. Only after Jackson proves that he is a responsible and caring boyfriend does Savannah's mother begin to let go. Told in the first person and thick with Southern vernacular, the novel offers a snapshot of Savannah's quickly-changing life. Displaying maturity and independence, as well as faith in the strength of her new relationship with Jackson, Savannah decides to attend a prestigious college program for promising high school seniors. While some of the story remains underdeveloped, such as the clairvoyance that Savannah occasionally alludes to possessing, the cast of characters holds the story together, and the people in Savannah's life are warm and real. Ages 12-up.

Gr 7-10

This sappy teen romance is set during the summer in "an itty bitty town on the Carolina coast." When Savannah, 15, meets out-of-towner Jackson, 18, it's pretty much love at first sight. Savannah is plagued with uncontrolled asthma, which is used to move the plot along and provide some much-needed drama. In fact, the asthma is a metaphor for Savannah's feelings about both her father (it started the day he deserted the family 12 years ago) and Jackson (she always seems to breathe easier when he's nearby). It also serves to mirror her feelings of control over her own life. Savannah and Jackson must endure a brief, but oh-so-painful separation when he has to return home to help his newly widowed mama cope with his brothers, but true hearts are meant to be together. Though the lesson is endearing, as both teens are supportive of and sweet to one another and to their respective families, the novel itself is uninspired. Southern dialect is used in the first-person narration as well as the dialogue, and the language (sprinkled generously with cuss words) quickly becomes tedious. While many of the emotions expressed are spot-on, even devoted romance fans will soon become bored with the book's underdeveloped characters, minimal conflict, and difficult-to-believe coincidences.-Robin Henry, Wakeland High School, Frisco, TX

Kirkus Reviews
Fifteen-year-old Savannah Brown expects an ordinary summer on the Carolina Coast, hanging out with her friends, working at the library and studying for the SATs-she aims to be the first in her family to go to college. Everything changes, however, when a handsome, earnest young man by the name of Jackson appears on the beach and sweeps her off her feet. Savannah's love for Jackson is soon so strong that she believes his presence keeps her asthma at bay, so what is she to do when she's accepted into a prestigious program that will separate them for several months? And what is she to make of the fact that it is Jackson who turned in her application? The struggle to sustain an intense romance while holding tight to one's dreams drives this story, which is strengthened by a strong sense of place and a compelling narrative voice. As she works things out, Savannah can be painfully melodramatic, but it's that very quality that makes her seem so real. (Fiction. 12 & up)

    Alright...

    So this was the cutest book I've ever read. For some reason while I was reading it, the voice in my head had a Tennessee or Southern accent for some reason and it made it better. The story is just breathtaken:) It's about this 15-year-old girl, Savannah, who's father left her family when she was a baby and ever since then Savannah's been having bad asthma. Bad enough that sometimes she has to go to the hospital. But once she meets this 19-year-old man, Jackson, everything changes. She can finally breathe. But Jackson's mom is having a tough time with her younger kids and needs Jackson's help. Now, he goes back to his hometown far away and Savannah can't breathe. Will Jackson come back? Read it and find out, you won't regret it:)

    Reviewed by Marta Morrison for TeensReadToo.com

    Savannah was named after a tornado that was hitting Savannah, Georgia, when she was born. She lives with her mother and her brother, named Dog. Her father left when she was very young. Ever since the day her father left she has had severe asthma. She believes that she can't breathe without the support of her father.

    Her mother is a proud yet loving mother. She keeps losing jobs because she won't tell her employer why she misses work when Savannah is in the hospital. They live in a small two-bedroom house where Savannah has to share a bedroom with twelve-year-old Dog.

    It is the summer and Savannah has a feeling that life will soon be very good. Otherwise she is bored - her friends are out of town, and she spends her days working at the library and reading. Then she meets Jackson. All her breath leaves her. He is her soul mate. They become an item, and then suddenly Jackson is called back to his home to help his mother.

    We spend the rest of the book holding our breaths to see if Jackson and Savannah will be able to be together.

    I really enjoyed this story. It was written in a southern accent, which made it seem very authentic. Savannah is pushy but a very likable character. My favorite character was the mother, Porsha. She was a strong woman, who supported her children without any help from others, but at the end she had to let others help her out.

    I highly recommend BREATHING.
