General Comments: Full of emotional highs and lows, and a thought-provoking look at 1920s America, outside of New York City. Not only does this book, and this entire series, promote tolerance, inclusion, and diversity, but it teaches a lot about history (example: ‘The Great Flood of 1927’), who writes it, and how it is interpreted. Each character arc reaches a propulsive end, wrapping the series up perfectly.

Favourite Quote: ‘Wasn’t that how fairy tales worked? You told just enough of the terrible truth – There are cruel people. Not all parents love you. The world isn’t fair by a long shot. – and you dressed it up in ogres and braves princesses and giants. Mostly, you reminded people that the evils of the world had to be fought. Even if you weren’t sure you’d win. You still had to go into the monster’s den. You had to face your fears. You still had to stand up to the monster.’
