My mum bought me this book when I was about fourteen, and by which point I had nearly completely moved on to reading adult books. As a result of this - and the fact that this looked like a sci-fi novel from the synopsis - I never read it until now. It's an okay novel, one which I would have eaten up as an eleven-year-old - but not the kind of thing I really enjoy now. It tells the story of how the lives of two teenagers change in the days after they graduate from high school. Nothing particularly special about it, but it was well written and not too much of a chore to read.

I love this weird little story. She is so good at detailed, real-seeming characters and places.

This book is ridiculously underrated. It cost me 25p and I can't explain why I like it so much but I truly do adore it.

This is a gorgeous love story (which Margaret Mahy does so, so well) - short science nerd Tycho is in love with Angela, his best friend. Tycho's family are chaotic, Angela lives alone with her mother in a little house on top of a hill and is searching for her father. That's about it really - this is a difficult book to discuss in terms of plot. But Mahy writes so well about families, and parents' relationships with their children, it's wonderful. And quite short, as well (which I'm a fan of at the moment, as I don't feel that I am reading enough).
