My Review:
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
I was engrossed by page 40, and I'm an adult. This book is classed as middle-grade read, but good for all.
Alice Parker is a 13 yr old going through some changes, but not normal teenage changes. The story includes some mystery, an underground village and fantasy.
The story also teaches young teens a great lesson after Alice befriends a snobby girl at school. She learns that being nice goes along way and that people aren't always how they seem in front of others. She learns that Lucinda is actually a nice person.
Finished this story quickly, I just wanted to keep reading. Looking forward to the second book.
Hmmm I think I wouldn't enjoy MG reads in general but there are books that manage to break age brackets. At least you had fun with this one, the last one I tried bored me a bit. I wouldn't say what book but I'm happy to see you didn't have a similar experience with this.
ReplyDeleteThe author of this book actually gave it to my daughter to read and review, but I thought I should give it a read as well. I didn't think I would like MG either, but this was cute.
