gschwabauer 's review for:
All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook
by Leslie Connor
Now THIS was the sort of middle-grade novel I've been hoping to read this summer.
As is so often the case, some loose ends tied up a little too neatly at the end, but this novel's setting, situation, and characters were so creative and so compelling that I was quite willing to forgive. (I also forgave the mildly unrealistic premise.) Leslie Connor's use of detail and understatement is masterful, and while a few situations were oversimplified, others were wonderfully nuanced. I'll be thinking about Perry for a while.
