The Many Adventures of Miranda Mercury: Time Runs Out by Brandon Thomas, Lee Ferguson

5.0

I think this is one of the best books I've read in years. It's amazing to me. The story follows Miranda Mercury and her teen sidekick Jack Warning. Yes, Jack Warning. The name is awesome. The conceit of the story is that while Miranda and Jack go along doing impossible things Miranda is slowly dying. This creates a great amount of tension between the two main character. The great thing about it is that it never gets down. It has the appropriate amount of seriousness and emotion for the situations they're in, but it never goes fully into melodrama. It never wallows in the negativity. It stays positive.
