Yeah, I know you just saw a review of this book here at my blog. But today's review is by the inimitable M, who is pestering me to post it. Post it now! And so, here is what 14-yo M had to say about Lisa Schroeder's latest novel in verse:

M is an avid, almost obsessive reader. And when she likes something, she talks about it. A lot. Kids at school take notice, too.

It's wonderful, isn't it?
Fab review.

It really is wonderful. M looked at it askance at first because of it being in verse (not her usual cuppa), but she read it in one sitting, then wrote a most enthusiastic review unbidden.

Wow, what a wonderful review! I mean, she got it! "Far From You perfectly shows Alice's icy exterior melt as life becomes about helping Ivy and Victoria, not just about herself." Yes. YES!!!

So glad you liked it, M., and thanks for really getting it.

I was so impressed by that sentence. It was 100% hers, too - I kid you not.
