I think some of the books still in the running have those. In my bracket, I'll Give You the Sun and Night Gardener both have those quality....of course only one will move on.

I am glad that I did not receive my second book for a while, as I am a complete failure at reading two books at once... I will always gravitate to the favoured book and can't find my way back to the first book if it has lost my interest. That would have been the case here because I struggled all the way through Sister Mine. I couldn't even find the fantasy in this tale which seemed more like someone's disjointed nightmare with no cohesion. I made it too the end, and no, Kath, it didn't get easier or better. This book is out of range for junior high; and I would suggest high school as well. I have struggled to find a positive message and failed. I, like KathDurance, love SciFi and Fantasy but this just didn't cut it for me! <br />Ms Adamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326881502821783739noreply@blogger.com
