Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu

5.0

Phenomenal, strange little book. Everything is perfect in Eventown - the air, the ice cream, the blueberries...or is it. Elodee and her twin Naomi move to Evertown with their parents to start fresh. At first Everton g is wonderful, but it doesn’t take long before Elodee notices something isn’t quite right - and she wonders if it’s her, because in the past it’s often been her. She’s the quirky twin, the one that stands out.

This book offers a truly unique look at how to handle our differences, our special family nuances, and how we all, as humans, cope with major life events.

I absolutely love the pacing of this story. It reads almost like a gentle fairy tale, but not. There’s a magical quality to it and Elodee and Naomi are as relatable as two middle school girls can be. Awesome read.
