In the Tall World by Angel Van Atta, Angel Van Atta
4.0
This book picks up right where In The Tall Trees finishes and boy is it a wild and emotional ride!
While this book doesn’t bring out the same emotions as the first, the emotions are still incredibly strong. This time, it’s anger. I literally cannot tell you why without spoiling it.
The writing is consistent, not only as we view the story from the perspective of a little girl, but with the previous book too.
I did find one inconsistency however, which is the name of the mom in the story — after speaking with the author we determined I had an old copy of the first book, and the name had been changed after it was published. Originally, the character was named after someone personal to the author, and they no longer felt comfortable with their name being used and Angel immediately changed it everywhere possible — however, there are still some original copies with the now-incorrect name. The Mom’s name is Alice.
This story was great, very interesting, and will definitely be reading more by Angel.
