Hold Fast by Blue Balliett

4.0

Interesting story. It was clearly a love letter to language. I loved the wordplay. However, I felt like maybe it was too many stories in one book. Part disappearing father mystery, part realistic portrayal of homeless life, I wish the author had dropped one and expanded on the other more. I also don't know how much true kid appeal this has. Overall though, I found it to be an enjoyable read.
