... it didn't take much for us to start "Piecing it Together" (aha.... so clever!). Jeff and I gravitated towards Jessica Townsend's dark, edgy and downright spooky world very quickly. We were excited to read it, and even more excited to put it into the hands of students we knew would love it too. Piecing Me Together was a good book, but it didn't grab us in the same way. I appreciate strong female leads with an important message to impart - but this book is more geared towards a high-school crowd, and my middle schoolers would likely not find it nearly as engaging as Nevermoor was. I had a student borrow my copy, and read the thing OVERNIGHT. She wouldn't stop talking about it for days afterwards. That is the measure of a good read.
