A review by aklibrarychick
Bird Lake Moon by Kevin Henkes
2.0
Kevin Henkes writes an adorable series of picture books about little mice that my kids just love. When I saw he also wrote YA novels, I decided to check a couple out. This is the first one I read, and I was somewhat disappointed. Not that it was awful or uninteresting, but I just expected more given how clever and sweet his picture books are.
It deals with the converging tales of two young boys, one who's parents have recently separated, and the other whose family is still recovering from a tragic death eight years before. Their lives become intertwined, and the boys find a common bond. It would be a good book for a boy who has a tough family situation. How the boys learn to cope with their respective problems and go forward in a positive way is one good aspect of the book.
I'll give one of his other books a chance, but this one wasn't great, just OK.
