A review by snowmaiden
Saving Lucas Biggs by Marisa de los Santos, David Teague

5.0

I enjoyed this book immensely, and I'm not even a little embarrassed that the back cover says "ages 8-12." Honestly, though, that seems a little young to me. My stepson is 8, and although I think he could read all the words, he's nowhere near ready to read something as subtle and sophisticated as this book. Thinking back, I probably would have been ready at about age 9, but I was a precocious reader. That being said, readers mature enough to grasp this story will find much goodness here. It went very differently than I was expecting when I read the description, and it really made me think.

(Note: I received an advance reader's edition of this book through a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.)
