![]() ![]() So it seemed a little simplistic to me but I am sure it would be just right for a teenager. The narrator of the book is a teenager and she tells her story the way a teenager would. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a young adult novel but I think it is. Certain readers will definitely enjoy the beauty in the writing. I fear even though the content may be appealing, it'll be too slow for fans of Life as We Knew It. I would recommend this book to experienced readers in grades 9-12. The survival parts were the most interesting and exciting for me, but even those didn't feel quite real enough. I don't think it's a book that's meant to be raced through, but I still felt like I wanted to be done long before I actually was. The story quickly turns into a tale of survival, as Mira must fend for herself with no contact with the mainland.While beautifully and poetically written, the story was very S-L-O-W for me and took me a long time to get through. It is during one of these treatments that Mira's mom and brother are away at the hospital on the mainland when a catastrophic storm unexpectedly strikes the island. ![]() Her brother is missing an enzyme, which causes him to be frequently hospitalized for treatments. Mira lives with her mother and younger brother on an island off the coast of Atlantic City. ![]()
