Mini Review: Liesl and Po by Lauren Oliver

I don't really have time to write a proper review right now, but before I go away I wanted to write about how much I loved Liesl and Po by Lauren Oliver. It came along at exactly the right time for me. I especially loved the:

• lovely, lyrical prose and descriptive language.
• extensive, quirky and adorable cast of characters.
• unique interpretation of ghosts/the afterlife.
• gorgeous illustrations.
• touching and sensitive exploration of grief.
• magic!
• story!
• Bundle.
• moving and powerful author's note.

I had a couple of minor gripes with certain plot points (I would have liked to know more about Po, for example) but overall Liesl and Po was a beautiful book - the kind that makes me want to tell EVERYONE I KNOW to read it. Now. So what are you waiting for?

Rating: 5/5.
