My daughter loved the Devil's Arithmatic.
If you liked The Giver, try Gathering Blue by the same author. I actually liked it better.
Doug and I both just read Snow White Must Die for a book club thing this week. What are the chances!
I picked it up because I had seen it on a post Doug made on facebook!! I enjoyed it and will definitely be reading more from this author
I was not that thrilled with The Giver. It was just okay, so I might try the Gathering Blue now, see if I like it any better. Thanks for the heads up
