SEASIDE TIMES | august 2012
My favourite parts of this book are all the unexpected things that happen, like when Sprig’s dad goes to Afghanistan to build schools, when Dakota is found under the table crying, and also when the neighbour has a stroke and Sprig saves her! Even though the book starts with Sprig hating Dakota, by the end I knew that she really loves her, even though they have their ups and downs. This book was so amazing that when I was writing this review I couldn’t think of a single thing I didn’t like, but there is one thing I would like to change. The author uses use boring words – like mad, sad and happy – over and over. (No offense to the author!) It would make it more interesting for me if there were words like angry, joyful or depressed instead of happy, sad or mad. I know other people would like this book because I described it and read a few pages to my cousin Jenaya and my friend Nika and they both really liked it! Also, this might sound weird but even my younger BROTHER Reuben said he liked it so lots of people like this book and I bet you would too.
