Reminiscent of Han Nolan’s Born Blue or Ellen Wittlinger’s The Long Night of Leo and Bree, this title is recommended for teen libraries, and eighth graders will be able to relate to it.
Fans of Colleen Houck’s A Tiger’s Curse will enjoy this star-crossed tale; think Romeo and Juliet meets Sherlock Holmes. Recommended for teen libraries.
Offering a taste of the mystical, a great voice and dialogue, and well-written questions that address teen angst, the book reads like Brandon Sanderson’s Steelheart meets Barry Lyga’s The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl. A solid choice for YA libraries
