It is for an older audience than the Shadow Children series - it is geared more for teens/YA than middle-graders. Not that there's anything objectionable in it, but it's just a story that will be of more interest to an older audience - it's all about aging and the story moves back and forth between two elderly women and 80 years later, the 18-year old and 16-year old girls they've become.<br /><br />I loved it, though!<br /><br />Almost finals time for my boys - college son in 2 weeks and HS son in about 3 weeks. HS son still has a lot of make-up work first, though - he's missed a lot of time this year due to surgeries and illness. <br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-67356180356408224312013-05-06T18:11:47.029-04:002013-05-06T18:11:47.029-04:00Hello!

Very cool!<br />It's finals time for your boys, right? Hard to focus on any other kind of reading at this time of the year, I'm sure. I hope your 15 year old is on the mend.<br />My boys are a bit younger, and we are gearing up for our summer reading push. I'll have them check out Turnabout. My 12 year old loved the Shadow Children series.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-45810017580634018432013-05-06T17:46:53.693-04:002013-05-06T17:46:53.693-04:00Thanks, everyone!

I know I'd go back to George RR Martin soon enough though. I think subconsciously I'm waiting for all the books to come out first before I even begin hitting the middle of the series big time. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.com
