The Widely Unknown Myth of Apple & Dorothy by Corey Ann Haydu
5.0
This is labeled as Middle Grade, and this book didn't feel like it should belong to only the kids. It's suitable for Middle graders on up.
The friendship of 2 twelve-year-old descendants of Gods explores the very human attributes of death and mourning. This dueling perspective tells the story from both sides as the friendship starts to go separate ways. There is no wrong side/right side. It is emotionally messy and a refreshing take on how we consume Greek mythology.
The more I think about what I read, the more I understand what the author was trying to convey. This stood out for me and made it to my list of favorites.
