A Pocketful of Eyes by Lili Wilkinson

5.0

This is a really fun book and something fresh on the YA scene. I love a quirky, smart protagonist (who's a bit of a dag as well) and Bea is just that. The pace is fast, dialogue is pitch perfect and each of the characters is well-rounded. The mystery really is a mystery and although there were clues along the way the ending came as a surprise to me - but it all made sense! If I had to nitpick, (and this is nitpicking) the mother character was a bit annoying - maybe she was just a little too different. But this is a great read, witty, clever and lots of fun. Highly recommended.
