The Warm Place by Nancy Farmer
2.0
Nancy Farmer requirement
The Warm Place by Nancy Farmer follows the story of Ruva, a young giraffe, who has been captured and sent to a zoo in San Francisco. With her friends she makes along her journey, she embarks to return home to Africa.
This book lacks the ability to suspend disbelief. Supposed "magic" is meant to solve problems in a snap, but just looks ridiculous. Biblical stories are given strange twists to build up the world, but the thought of most of them are startling and don't sit very well. Characters lack depth, and the writing is bland. It has a fine little adventure to it, that might charm younger readers. This book would be best suited for a young YA reader, but more likely an MG reader.
