Mean Little People by Paige Dearth
3.0
Good story
This book has several marks of a good novel—interesting storyline, good pacing and sympathetic characters. The too frequent use of alternate spelling to show the regional accent was a bit annoying and could probably have been conveyed in a more subtle manner. Two important characters, Donata and Ruth, just disappear towards the end of the story with no explanation for their absence. I’m not sure I would read another novel by this author. As I said the story is good but the writing could use improvement.
