The Mennyms by Sylvia Waugh
5.0
FIRST READ(2018):
This story was so cute and fun! On the back of the edition I read, it didn't say anything about the family being life-sized rag dolls. If it had, I don't know if I would have picked it up. I was so surprised when it was revealed that I didn't quite believe it at first.
When I picked it up at the library, it didn't look very interesting, but I was willing to give it a try. I was actually expecting to DNF this book, but since the story surprised me, I was engaged.
This book certainly won't be for everyone, but I'm glad it was the thing for me.
REVIEW UPON REREAD(2019):
It still holds up for me! Even when I knew what to expect, it was great! This family is so dysfunctional and they're each flawed in different ways! These characters feel real and I can't wait to reread the second book!
