The Wrong Way Home by Kate O'Shaughnessy
3.75
The premise of this book is so unique, that the minute I first heard about it, I had to check it out.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The way Fern acclimates to her new normal and realizes the truths about her old life are fascinating. It is gradual, and there is no magic flip that gets switched. She really has to contend with who and what she is going to believe.
I thought this was a great story to help kids see the black and white elements of the world.
Content Note: This book deals with a child realizing and contending with the place she calls home being a cult. There are also LGBTQ side characters. The mentions are minor, but one scene does feel like an agenda is being pushed.
