A review by juller
Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu
3.0
There were things I liked about this book. The character Elodee was likeable. The link between what was happening with Elodee and what happend to the environment in Eventown was interesting. I liked the element of magical realism. The story had more depth than I expected.
The one aspect I had a bit of a hard time getting past is that there was a disparity about in which grade the main character was. On page 53 Elodee talks of her first day of 6th grade in Juniper and later that year her first day of school in Eventown (the family moved during the school year). But then later on pages 62, 76, and 89 Elodee talks of being in the 5th grade, i.e., "In the fifth grade there is only 12 of us...". That discrepancy bothered me. I can't decide if it was intentional and I missed the point, or just an oversight.
