Brightwood by Tania Unsworth

3.0

I'm surprised at how much I liked this! The writing is beautiful and complex for a kid's book, but it definitely reads for kids. I loved Daisy's character despite acting rather slow at times. (She's a smart kid but had to rely on Frank for a LOT of clues. It was quite frustrating.) She handled her situation quite well and I liked how it ended. I was actually shedding a tear, sad to leave this story.

Overall, a magically book for middle grade readers! Recommended for grades 4+ (mention of death, violence, mental illness, injury.)
