4.0
I will admit, I'm usually not a huge fan of middle grade, but I actually enjoyed this book. I bought it before I knew it was middle grade, but I'm glad I finally listened to the audiobook.
It is a fun and beautifully-written novel. I think young readers will thoroughly enjoy reading about Alice and Oliver. Their love/hate friendship is so cute, and I must admit they grew a lot throughout the plot of the book. The journey to find Alice's father was a thriller-filled experience, and with every turn, you learn more and more about Alice and Oliver.
As usual, Tahereh's writing had me in awe, tears, and cheering throughout the story. Her way to poetically make you see everything so visually is what I always admire in writing. It is not a easily accomplished task, but she hits the mark every time.
Still an autobuy author for me.
