You'll Like It Here (Everyone Does) by Ruth White

They don't really look alien, but they are...


Delacorte Press sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you).  It's written for ages 9-12 and was published in June.  Your local bookstore should have a copy for you.


The Blue family is living happily ever after in the old farmhouse in the country.  Everything is fine until one day the youngest one's hair turns blue - then their cover is blown!


This story has a taste of a "A Wrinkle in Time".  This family has a magic carriage that can travel to destinations through the use of logistics.  The family tries to find a place like the earth they just left, but the alternate world is bit different.  Very different to be exact.


If your young adult likes reading fantasy, about alternate worlds, or adventure, this is a good story for them.  The author is Newbery Honor Winner and this is a well-constructed tale also.  Why not give it read?


Happy reading.
