I received a free ebook copy of this book through Net Galley and Blueberry Finch but my review is my own.
I really loved this sweet book. It is filled with heart and found family and perseverance. I was initially drawn to the cover when I saw it on Net Galley and didn’t know what to expect really. The world building was good and I felt immersed quickly. Jane is lovable and brave and sweet and innocent and made for an excellent main character. I also enjoyed Rodney and Timothy and the banter and camaraderie between them throughout the story. The book is filled with so much heart and I definitely teared up in a few places. But it is set in a dystopian type setting and there are definitely hard moments and topics. My one real con (and it’s a small one really) is that the ending felt a bit rushed to me and I was hoping for more about what happened next. I would recommend this book to other middle grade fans.
