Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy by Gary D. Schmidt

3.0

Not sure what to say about this one. The first half of the book was well-written but run of the mill and seemed very predictable and similar to many other stories. In the second half nothing was predictable and the consequences were far more serious and long-term than the first half had me prepared for. While I'm glad I persisted with the book to reach the surprises the author had in store, I'm not too sure what I think at the end of it. Parts of this book are very strong but the beginning is slow. 3 stars may not be a fair assessment, but 2 isn't enough and 4 feels like too much...
