A review by brearose
May Bird and the Ever After by Jodi Lynn Anderson
5.0
It seems that most of the other reviews are from people out of the intended audience. And while I agree that a great book should be able to be read by anyone, this book needs a review from someone that can better relate to the characters.
I read this book when I was 12. I finished the first book in 2 days, and finished the entire series in 2 weeks. I loved this books. I still live these books. I had no friends (I actually did have a couple friends, but I felt like I had no friends) and I was so happy to read a book that had a pet as a side kick (like I did) instead of a best friend. I identified with the character, and I wanted to fall through a lake too and join her. The characters she meets later are the people I wanted to be friends with.
More than that, the plot was incredible. It was different from most other books I'd read. It was a bit scary, but no more than a Halloween movie (the kid's ones!).
So maybe I wouldn't suggest this book to everyone. I wouldn't suggest it to an adult (although they will most likely enjoy it, but they won't have the same connection). I wouldn't suggest it to a young kid (because it is slightly scary). But any kids going through that awkward phase of 9-13, well this book will be perfect for them and could change their outlook.
