Look at me, commenting on your blog years ago! And now I am back again! I just finished this book, and for the first 50 pages I was flipping back and forth a hundred times and going WTF?!!! And then suddenly it was clicking and it was wonderful and devastating and wow-ish. Must read more Marchetta!!!!

In reply to Jenny. Oh, she just didn't enjoy pretending games as much as my little sister and I did, unless she got to charge around with a lance all the time, or something. She liked climbing unbelievably high trees, or biking around the block playing bike tag with swimming pool noodles. My little sister and I were always much more into pretending-things games.

In reply to lisa (the little reader). It's really an excellent book. I've probably made it sound more challenging than it really is. Overall, it's a perfectly accessible book, just with a lot of characters.

i have this book on my wishilist, as i work through the Printz winners. and, honestly, until reading your review, i had no idea what the book was about.

it sounds more challenging than i was expecting of a YA book, but i’m intrigued.

In reply to Emily and Her Little Pink Notes. Drat, sorry I missed yours! I will add it straight away. I don't think I saw Looking for Alibrandi at my library. Is it fantasy like Finnikin of the Rock, or family-tragedy like Jellicoe Road?
