ljrinaldi 's review for:

Apple Crush by Lucy Knisley
4.0

As others have said, this review is based on only the first 30 pages, as that was all the Netgalley and the publisher released for this ARC.

But, having read the first book in this series, I am quite sure I will love the rest of this wonderful book about blending families on a farm, loosely based on the authors life. The drawings are, as always top notch. The facial expressions, the feelings expressed, all work together to give us the beginnings of another great story, and perhaps we will learn more about the future step-father dynamic that felt so unfinished in the first book.

I would and will always highly recommend anything Lucy Knisley writes and draws.

Amendment to this review: I have since read the whole things, and love it. I love the bully. I love the subtly of why she is a bully, and what might, in the next book in this series, have to say.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
