LitPick Review
Loa Lindgren's life was ALWAYS centered around her little sister, Asta. That's how life was, that's how the days went. Asta suffered from a disorder that kept her a baby...forever. But, with Asta dead, Loa is struggling. Her best friend has also died. How can 16-year old Loa carry out a normal life? The answer is, she can't. She is suffering with flashbacks and bad dreams. Chaos, hardship, and death best describe Loa's life. No wonder she is a freak observer.
Opinion:
Two hundred one pages of astounding literature. The book was a page turner, a new tableau at every paragraph. From the moment I was two words into the book, I could hear myself saying Instant Classic. This horrific and stunning novel is perfect for the mysterious teenager! I grew up with Nancy Drew and Encyclopedia Brown as my best friends. I've always been drawn to dark, depressing, mysterious things. That is probably why the book was such a hit with me. Although this is an amazing book, I recommend ages 12 and up, because it is creepy and spine tingling!
