A Book and A Review #2

As I often do when I read Young Adult books, I put myself in the place of a young reader however, at the end, put my adult reviewer hat back on. I found this book to be delightful. It was CLEAN in language and scenery. It was a light, engaging story with enjoyable and heartwarming characters and it screamed adventure. In a period of time where we have headed into dark, almost gothic storylines are the norm or at least permeating this genre. Moa was truly a breath of fresh air. On that note, I found this book to be appropriate for the 'tweens and early Young Adult genre. I think that "older" young adults would find it a bit too light. Putting my adult reviewer hat back on, I did find that the author had almost "switched" narratives throughout the book. There were times where I felt it was appropriate, but there are times that it really didn't make sense to the storyline. In all honesty, I think with the age group who would be reviewing the book, they would miss it. It is just something to me as a reviewer that popped into my radar.
