I’ll openly admit I’m not exactly the target audience for this series, which is middle grade, especially girls. I kept the audience in mind when I read the book and found that Bucheger has a remarkable ability to write in a way that connects with her readers. The chapters are short, and there are a lot of them. The wording is to the point, yet vivid. These are all elements that middle grade readers are drawn to.
And speaking of drawing, the new covers are really nice. They do justice to the feel of the book.
As for the story, like Anne of “Anne of Green Gables,” Ginnie is a character you can’t help but love. She’s feisty and sometimes does things without thinking them through—but there is an honesty in her actions. She’s the type of main character you like to cheer for.
This book deals a lot with the subject of bullying, an important topic indeed, and Bucheger gives some great insight on it—but it’s done so in a non-preachy way.
I highly recommend this book to middle grade girls, and their parents to read. I think even reading the book together will give people a chance not only to enjoy the book together, but open a dialogue about bullying and what people can do to stop it.
