That was good but, honestly, I want a Newbery winner to actually blow me away and merit five whole star which this did not.
Wow. What a story. Definitely will be processing all the metaphors here for a while. Totally can see how this won the Newbery.
This is such a lovely bittersweet coming of age story! Lily is a really relatable narrator as she tries to figure out what her own personal strengths and weaknesses are, and here I thought the ambiguous nature of the supernatural elements/hallucinations worked really well.
