Having read E.L. Konigsburg’s book __T-Backs, T-Shirts, COAT and Suit__ is a good pleasure. E.L. Konigsburg was born in February 10th, 1930, and she is living with her husband in Florida with her three children. She is an author for many kids; winning the Newbery Medal and Newbery Honor in both 1958. This book has been published since 1993, and it has seen quite fame since came out. This book, __T-Backs, T-Shirts, COAT and Suit__, has made my day by its enjoyable and quick going plot.

Chloë Pollack, who doesn’t want to be pressed for her entire summer whether to vote for Anjelica or Krystal, planned on going somewhere else to not be shunned. Nick, Chloë’s father, has made a deal with his sister, Bernadette, that Chloë would go there and work for her. When Chloë went over to Peco for her summer with Auntie Bernadette, Nick and Chloë have made a promise; “Promise that you’ll help Bernadette and that you’ll give the unexpected a chance.” Anyways, what Chloë saw was not just Bernadette. She saw a big dog of hers named Daisy; however, guess something worse happening to her. She has an overcoming war trying to wear ‘T-backs’ while rival workers trying to wear ‘Coats’ and ban T-backs.

As what Bernadette usually behaves and says, she’s a really strong woman. She knows what she should do and she knows about herself very much that she has her own rules set.

“You can play the television after I’ve gone to my room, but if you must, use these.” She handed Chloë a pair of earphones. “Daisy sleeps in my room.”

This part of the story tells that she has her own style and is a cold person who allows people to follow her disciplines when came to her house. Also, Bernadette has let Chloë to wake up early according to the routine; five-thirty in the morning.

With Chloë complaining, but actually not being able to break her promise between Nick, she has finally adapted into Bernadette’s life and her routine. Chloë gets mature as the story goes on.

As shown, I enjoyed analyzing the characters in the story while reading the book because it has contained such a cold person, Bernadette, changing into a woman who keeps changing to open her minds to Chloë by telling about her life and how she has met her dog, Daisy. Also, Chloë, the dynamic character, held my attention and interests on her with her mood changing and her thoughts via the narrator being first person. I overall like the quick going about the story, and how the author characterized Chloë and Bernadette in various ways. I, as well, liked the theme where Chloë is there to fulfill the unexpected, Bernadette, with a chance and a hope and change her eccentric characteristics into a person who she can trust and be loyal to.

There is not such thing that I would criticize about the book. Only question I have is that, how did Chloë have fulfilled another unexpected, Daisy, with a chance. However, this book is containing amazing characters with their own stand-ups, splendid features and its own uniqueness. I recommend this book to young adults who would one time fall into a moment of boredom and curiosity about still life.
