A review by bethmitcham
The Journal of Angela Ashby by Liana Gardner
4.0
I personally give this book a three, but that's because I have an aversion to books giving children responsibility for their parents' happiness in a divorce, even if it's the children's meddling that causes the immediate problem. But that's on me, not the book or the writing, and I think kids actually prefer books that emphasize their agency.
There were some dropped signals in this book, and a shift from an emphasis on the magic to the emphasis on solving real world problems that felt a bit clunky, but it was a fast read with an engaging narrator and a book I will give to a lucky winner at my book club with pleasure.
