My Name Is Mina by David Almond

4.0

i liked this one better than skellig, but it's certainly important to read skellig first to have context. mina's such a beautiful character - smart, solitary, thoughtful and wonderfully imaginative. this journal of hers really captures her spirit and gets you inside her head. she's so special and i wish more kids and teenagers felt the same kind of individual freedom to be themselves...even if it does mean that being weird and sad is part of life.
