Liar & Spy by Rebecca Stead
emotional
inspiring
fast-paced
5.0
This was really sweet, and I loved that both boys could fit in the descriptions of Liar & Spy. Set mostly in and around an apartment building that Georges has just moved into, he meets the various residents of the building, particularly the unusual Safer, and they quickly become friends.
Both boys have their own secrets that they're hiding, which start to unravel as the story progresses and Safer becomes more and more obsessed with spying on their upstairs neighbour. I loved that this story had a lot of emotional depth, and I was pretty sad when I realised my copy was a good 20 pages shorter than I thought, due to another book's preview at the end.
