libscote 's review for:

The Firefly Code by Megan Frazer Blakemore
4.0

I liked this one a lot. Blakemore does a good job of introducing a utopia to middle grade readers, which slowly shows how it isn't as great as it might initially appear (isn't that always the way?) I liked Mori a lot, and related to how she felt about the other characters in the book. I was suspicious of the twist partially through, but I think that younger readers will be more shocked by it.
