Hold Fast by Blue Balliett

5.0

I so enjoyed the tender and loving way Blue Balliett treated language in this book. The clever dictionary entries at the beginning of each chapter and the Pearl families' exuberance for words was a joy to read. I also give this book props for keeping me in suspense for a large portion of the plot, which is hard for a J book.

Makes some great real world points about homelessness, has violence and death, not for more sensitive souls.
