This story centers around "Gee" Keane a photojournalist who dies and leaves photos to his grandson Jason and a box of shells for his granddaughter Maggie. Each chapter explores a different character and their relationship to a photo or a shell. I thought the individual chapters were interesting, but the book as whole was not cohesive. The authors did not try to merge the story together and answer questions from the story--so many things were left hanging. The last two chapters took the story on

Reviewed by coollibrarianchick for TeensReadToo.comHow many times have you looked at a photograph and wondered what the story was behind it? Photographs indicate relationships within and among people and nature. Photographs document one's perception of the world. George Keane Henschler, or "Gee" as he likes to be called, and his granddaughter, Maggie, are the epicenter for all the stories in the book CLICK.

The chapters all connect in some way but I had a hard time understanding alot of the different writing styles. I'll have to have my friend Terri read this and explain it to me. It had a bit of foul language in it so I definatly wouldn't recommend it for elementary schools (not that we want anyone reading foul language!). Just O.K. for me.

The proceeds from this novel go to Amnesty International, and that theme does run a bit through the chapters. Each chapter is written by a different author, and some of them are big names like David Almond, Nick Hornby, Gregory Maguire, and others. The overall theme is that a photojournalist dies and leaves some gifts to his grandchildren. Maggie receives a box of shells and Jason receives a stack of autographed photographs. Interesting enough, eh? But then each chapter gives the reader a little
