I’m not sure how to quantify this book. It is, for sure, Young Adult. It is a story of optimism in the face of pragmatism
and greed. It also is a mild diatribe
on fracking.
The fracking part of this book will probably be upsetting to
some people. In areas were jobs were
scarce, people looked at fracking as a life line. There are a lot of open-ended questions as
to the safety of the process. That is
something better pursued elsewhere.
The other worldly aspects of the books and the spiritual
connections were tenuous. I think in a
book focused on an older audience there would have been a greater burden of proof. The book could probably add a 100 pages or
so and be better accepted by the adult reader.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
