I'm a little late with this one, I feel like I'm remember a lot of buzz when this came out. But a friend at the library whom I'm always giving books, handed it to me and demanded that I read it. So I did. And it's amazing! I couldn't put it down and when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it and wondering about the outcome. I'm not crazy about the cover and I think that's what put me off a little. Plus, while reading it, I had the song stuck in my head the ENTIRE time.

I really liked this book too! I love when an author takes an old folk tale, or in this case the old folk song, and creates a story that could be derived from that. Very interesting!! Lucy was a good character, too.
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to read this. I love the cover.
ReplyDeleteYep, the song gets in your head with this one. But I thought it was a great read and really enjoyed it. I like this cover better than the original YA cover-not sure why-I think it has more color and I like the red.
ReplyDeletethis sounds like a great book! are you kidding me? that cover is to die for!
