The Best Bad Thing by Yoshiko Uchida
5.0
Guys I'm beginning to notice that I read a lot more diverse titles when I was a kid than I thought I did. Good job, baby!Britt, well done.
Ok, review time. I ADORED this book when I read it as a kid. Rinko was so real and had such a fantastic voice. I wanted to be her best friend. And I was fascinated by all the Japanese cultural elements in this book, just as much as I was fascinated with the time period. There's a sort of wistful quality to this book, a sort of summer-days-of-childhood remembrance in the author's tone that made me nostalgic, even though I was only like 9 when I read it. It's stayed with me for over 15 years, a fond spot in my childhood reading experience, and one I plan to repeat because this is the kind of book that does not get less awesome as you age.
