To Timbuktu: Nine Countries, Two People, One True Story [Idioma Inglés] de Casey Scieszka,Steven Weinberg
Descripción - Críticas Casey and Steven met and sparked a relationship while studying abroad in Morocco their junior year, and after finishing college, they found that they shared three postgraduation goals: 'One: get out of the country. Two: pursue our creative interests (visual art for him, writing for me). And three: be together.' This unique travelogue documents their two-year international jaunt teaching English in China; traveling through Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam; and, finally, living in Mali, where Casey studied the role of Islam in education on a Fulbright grant. Nearly every page is split between Casey's cheery narration and Steven's charcoally cartoon drawings, which capture slice-of-life vignettes and depict the many people they met along the way. The couple's experiences can run together into a sort of 'And then . . . and then . . .' style of travelers who are careful to recount every adventure and insight but rarely get too deep into any one. For teens itching to get out into the world, this is a road map, and Casey and Steven make for eminently pleasant traveling companions. -- BooklistHeading into adulthood from the younger end of 'Eat, Pray, Love 'territory, two young college grads with itchy feet take most of a double 'wanderjahr' to test their coupledom overseas. In quick, good-humored black-and-white sketches that occupy at least half of nearly every page, Weinberg not only evokes a sense of place in depicting apartments and street scenes but displays an unusual ability to capture fleeting expressions, poses and the emotional tenor of momentary encounters. The two build funds of self-confidence teaching English to children in Beijing, dawdle their way through Southeast Asia, then settle in Mali for most of a year for a Fulbright-funded research project. Occasional brushes with police, illness and hostile locals or disenchanted fellow travelers aside, Scieszka maintains an upbeat tone in her episodic, present-tense travelogue--noting the destructive effects of politics, poverty and tourism but focusing on the pleasures of new friends, new foods, adapting to local conditions, being grownups ('It's liberating! It's...'full of pressure'') and finding reasons to get 'out of bed on the other side of the world even when it's raining, you haven't made any friends yet and you've got the travel shits like whoa.' Newly fledged adults (and even those with plenty of mileage under their wings) will find both entertainment and perhaps a dollop of inspiration. -- Kirkus Reviews Fusing travelogue and personal exploration, this entertaining chronicle covers the nearly two-year odyssey debut talents Scieszka (daughter of Jon) and Weinberg embarked on after graduating from college in 2006. Their goals? 'One: get out of the country. Two: pursue our creative interests.... And three: be together.' After a six-month stint in Beijing teaching English, the couple journeyed to Shanghai, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand before landing in Mali, where Scieszka (with a Fulbright grant) researched the role of Islam in the educational system. Impressively witty, perceptive, and candid, Scieszka's present-tense narrative catapults readers into each setting, as do Weinberg's fluid cartoon sketches, seamlessly incorporated into every page. The author introduces the various countries with clever q&as ('[M]ake sure you check out my Mae Kong River parties,' advises a personified Laos) and explores each nation's language, politics, traditions, and food. Yet at the heart of the book are the friendships that Scieszka and Weinberg forge, as well as their own maturing relationship. Come grad season, skip 'Oh, the Places You'll Go!'--this will be far better appreciated, with its effortless mix of globe-trotting adventure, romance, humor, and expanding self-knowledge. Ages 14-up. -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Casey and Steven met and sparked a relationship while studying abroad in Morocco their junior year, and after finishing college, they found that they shared three postgraduation goals: 'One: get out of the country.
