Nomi Nickel lives with her father, Ray, in East Village, a Mennonite town in Manitoba. She dreams of escaping to the big city, but since her mother and sister left home, it´s hard to imagine leaving her father behind. As she begins to piece together her mother´s disappearance, she finds herself on a direct collision course with the town´s minister - der uncle Hans, known as The Mouth. (from the back)

Well, not really an easy reading, but nevertheless a great one. I liked the style, it´s a little story, told in a very calm way, Nomi uses a lot of funny expressions to express her feelings. But the more you read you get an uneasy feeling, because Nomi is such a nice girl and you wish her a happy ending, but at the same time you not that it cannot come true...

Travelling with Geegal´s "All English Kids and Teen Lit Bookbox"

The blurb sounds really interesting, and the comparison to Holden Caulfield made me curious. Thanks, Daine!

This is a "green cover book", read for bigbooklover82's MtTBR reading challenge. I really liked this novel. Nomi, the narrator, is a fresh and authentic voice in young adult fiction, and her description of how such a community works was utterly believable.

I will pass this book on to my daughter, and at the end of June it might come to England with us to be released at the Cornish coast.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Sorry to all hunters that I can't give you a definite time and place for this release. It will probably take place between 30th June and 10th July, at the castle or somewhere on the coastal path. Have fun! :o)
