A review by audreyjginay
Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt

5.0

This is a must read. The writing makes you feel like you are reading a traditional fairy tale, which only adds to the charm of the story. Keturah is a likable protagonist and the story is unique and full of whimsy. It makes several really valuable philosophical points, and ends on a beautiful, hopeful note. This absolutely can be taught in classrooms, this book would likely be a big hit amongst students.

content warnings: the entirety of this book deals with themes regarding death (that should be a given) and there is mention of an impending plague. However neither of these themes are presented in a particularly disturbing way, so I don't think these elements would be much of a concern.
