This is basically like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for kids. As a grown-up, I really don't need to read another story about a supposed utopia that is actually *gasp* a dystopia. But, of course, to most child readers this will not come off as a tired trope. "Too good to be true" is a real thing, kids! Be suspicious of anyone who tells you it's possible to live in this world without discomfort. What a gorgeous, gorgeous book. children's middlegrade fiction (identical twin 5th grade girls dealing with grief move to a town where standards of happiness are enforced) This is slower story but atmospheric and creepy enough to make a compulsive read for middlegraders--details like Veema's longing for "a new best friend" while fiddling with half of a best friend necklace amongst the large collection of necklaces she wears every day, Elodee's repeated attempts to make a specific jasmine-olive oil cake that is NOT one of the town's sanctioned recipes, and the secret photograph she finds tucked under the tea-set pique just enough interest to keep one hooked into the story. The ending is gloriously tear-stained and appropriately positive for this age level. I don't think it stands out enough to win the Newbery, necessarily, but it's a solid read. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

To Elodee, eleven, things seem a little too perfect in Eventown when she moves there with her parents and identical twin, Naomi, especially since forgetting the past is so highly valued. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
