Book: Chime by Franny Billingsley
Age-range: 16 and up
The first few chapters are a little hard to get into, but once you get used to the narrator's self-loathing and fall into the cadence of the language it's quite beautiful. There were a few metaphors that were gorgeous, but pulled me out of the story as I tried to work out the relevance they had to the story.
This was a good book with lots of surprises, but lots of hints along the way to discover those surprises. I also love the "assignment" of animals for a few of the characters. It made me think of my sister Heidi.
Happy reading!
