Mostly, this book just did not work for me

Always Mañana. Tomorrow.
Young Adult fiction has been in heavy rotation in my reading for a good number of years now. Now that my kid is in middle school, I have a lot of really great books to pass on to him, but I have found that the bulk of it (aside from vampirey melodrama which I am sure he will have zero interest in) are dystopian trilogies.

And I can safely say that it will always be my least favorite. Well, I guess I can’t trust myself. Now that I’m almost another full loop through […]

He’s just bought the Haverhall School for Young Ladies and is planning a trip to Dover to persuade the current Baron Strathmore to sell the family’s struggling shipping company to him for a large sum as well.
