Bleh. I am annoyed. This YA novel has a blurb from Jeannette Walls on the TOP of the FRONT of the book calling “dazzling.” Ms. Walls, YOUR book, The Glass Castle, was dazzling. This book is a lot of “tell, not show” with a annoyingly neat plot that, like so many soap operas, relies on people circling around a truth that is glaringly obvious. I hate trashing a book. Robyn Schneider spent a lot of time writing this one, I am sure and I am fond on her protagonist Ezra and his challenges in finding a new tribe at school. That part rang true. The rest, not so much. This one was vergessbar.
