[Following is a volunteer review of "Ragamuffin" by Murray Bishoff.]
Ragamuffin, an intriguing piece by Murray Bishoff, is set in the small American town of Southwest Missuori. It portrays the very common lifestyle of sub-urban and rural dwellers. It is very easy for readers to identify with and relate to the rough lifestyle and hard work people put in to survive every day. An unmatched blend of small town politics and its players: heroines, scoundrels, villains, and even cunning senior citizens. Ragamuffin has a narrow focus on life as well as interesting individuals and colorful characters to keep the reader going on and on.
Young Ellie Pichgiss enrolls in a new school and is faced with various challenges. While adapting to a different approach to learning, Ellie also has to make new friends at her new school. Ellie develops into a leader, always standing her ground against any undesirable element in her school. This endears her to her peers and makes her a sort of role model for them. Facing all challenges head-on, her kindness, vigor, and courage, along with reuniting with her family, eventually paid off for Ellie.
This book is very relatable and has a wide range of readability. Young adults, mystery fanatics, and random fiction lovers can be intrigued by the way the author relates Ellie’s story. I particularly love Ellie’s role as a heroine, teaching young female adults that they can always stand their ground and ‘be more’ in the present society. The novel encompasses and also gives a bigger picture of everyday happenings both in rural and urban settings, teaching lessons that can be applied in similar situations. Even a 'ragamuffin' can aspire to become an elite member of society. It is worthy of note that the book was exceptionally edited and contains no errors. I’ll like to rate this book 5 out of 5 stars, particularly commending the cover page, which is in sync with the book’s title.
I do not have any dislikes for the book as it stands. It is really a masterpiece.
I recommend this book to all teenagers and young adults, as well as parents who want to help their kids develop an in-depth sense of charisma.
