5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 13 Sep 2005
This book is perfect - a brilliant notion, brilliantly executed. It's a kind of parable about what's important and what isn't. It's as clear and profound as a Borges story but it's also very funny when it wants to be and has a great adventure story setting. It would be a brilliant detonator for classroom discussions. But I read it in the dentist's waiting room and forgot to be worried, so it works as a mood altering drug too.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Tribe" for the junior reader! , 8 Dec 2007
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
A photographer, Flash, crash lands in a remote place with just a Polaroid camera as a companion. He is found and taken to the local dusty village which has been pretty much untouched by the outside world. There are just ten photos left on the camera and Flash wants to use these "magic pictures" wisely. What subjects should he choose?
It's a simple idea, put together with flair and humour. Beautifully written, with a scattering of pictures (the "photos" Flash takes), the language and imagery is totally in keeping with the story and mood of the book, creating depth and dimension.
As well as being a good story for the newly confident reader, "Smile" will also inspire them to consider the alternative perceptions of people who live a different way of life. The story could encourage, for example, the reevaluation of wealth and beauty. The momentary nature of photos also highlights the ephemeral nature of youth and life, the passing of time.
Written more simply than many of McCaughrean's novels, this is great for Key Stage 2 (7-11) and I am putting it with a digital camera for my seven-year old daughter this Christmas to off-set some pink glitz.
A great story, and a delightful introduction to cultural anthropology!

2.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A BORING BOOK, 25 Mar 2006
By A Customer
At first you havn't got a clue whats going on, and it just isn't really interesting at all, it may be just a tad bit babyish for me. Younger children may enjoy it but i certanily didn't. The story had no main story-line, and it was basically just about taking boring photo's. Some of the humour was quite good, but it wasn't gripping or actually interesting. I don't recommend this book for people who enjoy gripping and read worthy books. If you are quite have the patience to read this book then go ahead, but DO NOT by this book if you want a REALLY interesting book!
