Me and Marvin Gardens

I was a little thrown by this since I'm used to A. S. King's YA books, which are a little...weirder, which I like. This was more straightforward BUT still employed some cool twists, like the passages from 100 years ago. I loved Obe as a narrator; very sweet and observant. The friendship troubles here were so realistic, combined with the somewhat fantastic (meaning fantasy-y, not like, great) Marvin...there's a lot going on here and I think it'll especially hit home for sensitive, environmentally-aware kids (which are a lot of kids)!
