Thank you, NetGalley, HarperCollins Children's Books and Phil Stamper for providing me with an eARC of Eli Over Easy.
This is a very very easy read. It disappeared from me. This rounded out about three middle-grade books for this month but this was the only contemporary story. It is a fantastic middle-grade read. If you are coming into it expecting more than a middle-grade story then you will be a little disappointed.
This story absolutely role models behaviour and language for a younger audience. It is also like a grief and relationships guide for tweens with the addition of a cooking manual. Of course, when something is remodelling behaviour it often doesn't come across as genuine or realistic dialogue/behaviour for some of us old and bitter people in the world 😅😅😅. But I believe in the purpose of books teaching its audience, not just entertaining us.
This is a super cute, fun, emotional read that is just a simple plot of dealing with loss and change in our lives. It is under 300 pages and I doubt you will regret reading it if you do pick it up.
