by Virginia Bergin

rated 8/10: really quite good
It's funny. I finished reading and *then* discovered that this book is for "young adult" I'm surprised but not surprised; I mean, it's obvious... when I know it.
I read it. Enjoyed it. Liked the characters. Appreciated the ideas. Sympathised with the granmummas. Worried with then cheered for the heroine -- and for the hero.
But young adult? Yes: the main characters are teens. The world is nice (with a dystopian secret). The violence is (mostly) off-stage.
Definitely subadult. Yet the theme is universal. Well presented. And well balanced. With a very satisfying ending.
I enjoyed this book.
