A Castle in the Clouds by Kerstin Gier

Hmmm this was enchanting & beautifully written - the setting was very easy to visualize. I lowkey would have loved to read this in German, but that wasn't an option for me on Libby T.T  The story was a coming of age story hidden in an unassuming mystery - of which the plot twist certainly surprised me! And OH MY GOD TEAM TRISTAN all the way!!! Bc Ben was literally being nice to ppl who were obviously bullying Sophie?? And Mr. Spiderman is right there?? I also didn't really get why Sophie and Ben were into each other romantically, other than the fact that they are the same age. Anywho, some of these scenes just had no humor in them, when they were obviously meant to be funny. Overall, I think I would have enjoyed this more if I was a bit younger, especially since I definitely who have related to the giddy descriptions of having a crush on someone.
