Land of Yesterday
Land of Yesterday | K A Reynolds
A tender and fantastical adventure story perfect for fans of Coraline.After Cecelia Dahl's little brother, Celadon, dies tragically, his soul goes where all souls go: the Land of Yesterday--and Cecelia is left behind in a fractured world without him. Her beloved house's spirit is crumbling beyond repair, her father is imprisoned by sorrow, and worst of all, her grief-stricken mother abandons the land of the living to follow Celadon into Yesterday.It's up to Cecelia to put her family back together, even if that means venturing into the dark and forbidden Land of Yesterday on her own. But as Cecilia braves a hot-air balloon commanded by two gnomes, a sea of daisies, and the Planet of Nightmares, it's clear that even if she finds her family, she might not be able to save them.And if she's not careful, she might just become a lost soul herself, trapped forever in Yesterday.

I applied for a job reviewing children‘s books and made it to the final round, and they gave me this book to write a sample review of. Right off the bat the main character (accidentally) kills her brother, which was off-putting. I do miss the art on the chapter titles of books for an audience this age, though.

I think this story could be an instant classic for the right sort of reader. It's a bit like Coraline, Howl's Moving Castle and Alice in Wonderland. Cecilia plunges in the Land of Yesterday desperately trying to put her family back together.
I'd give it a million stars.

ABSOLUTELY ALL THE FEELS. This MG about a girl who goes into the Land of Yesterday to chase her mother—who‘s depressed after the death of her son, the MC‘s brother—is so meaningful and beautifully written. Five Widdendreams: 🏚🏚🏚🏚🏚

2018 is the year I‘m switching from GoodReads to Litsy so you‘ll be seeing a lot more of me around here soon. Here‘s my last read of 2017, a spooky and soulful MG debut that you‘re going to love!
