A review by shighley
Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu

2.0

I think the reason I felt like this book was very popular was the fact that it popped up continually in Facebook and other ads. It just felt too heavy-handed, and not one I think many upper elementary and middle school students would appreciate. As noted by others, I was surprised by two big editing errors: the grade the girls were in, and the name of the town both changed. I felt like Naomi's characterization was somewhat inconsistent, and the journey into the depths of the Welcoming Center was trying to be too Harry Potter-ish. I really did like the idea of cooking/baking something to match one's personality.
