A review by mkean
The Apothecary by Maile Meloy

4.0

I suppose I should review this book in relation to its target audience. I am not the target audience. I'm not middle school/ young adult range, so this wasn't up to its usual snuff for me. BUT, that being said, I would definitely reccomend this to someone younger. It tackles tough topics like the cold war and the atomic bomb, without hiding all the bad bits but also without being too dire. It is well-written and interesting, although not as hardcore as I usually go for. The illustrations are super cute though, and make the story much more homey!
