Nightingale's Nest by Nikki Loftin
4.0
This is one of those amazing children’s books that kids will love and, when they go back to it as an adult, they will see so much more in it than they did when they were younger. All ages will appreciate it. I think I would have loved it as a child and I know I loved it as an adult - mostly because magical realism is my favorite.
As an adult, I thought, “How could this kid do that?!” However, I knew that I made bad choices as a kid. These were learning experiences for Little John. He just had one after another, after another, after another. He and all of the other characters grew in an interesting way, and I even loved how bad the bad guy was. (Of course, my favorite was Gayle.)
The setting was fantastic, too. It felt like the dustbowl to me, but it was present day.
I hope Nightingale’s Nest wins an award, because it’s definitely well done. I know it’s a contender!
