Tomorrow River
Tomorrow River | Lesley Kagen
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
From the national bestselling author of Whistling in the Dark. During the summer of 1968 in Rockbridge County, Virginia, eleven-year- old Shenandoah Carmody's mother disappeared. Her twin sister, Woody, stopped speaking, and her once-loving father slipped into a mean drunkenness unbefitting a superior court judge. As the first anniversary of their mother's disappearance nears, her father's threat to send Woody away and his hints at an impending remarriage spur a desperate Shenny to find her mother-before it's too late.

Though I didn‘t think this was as good as her debut, Whistling in the Dark (which I loved), this still had a lot of the attributes that has made Lesley Kagen one of my favorite lesser-known authors. It‘s a mystery of sorts, told from the point of view of a spunky, precocious 11-year-old. While I found some parts of it a little too unbelievable at times, it‘s still a good story, and once again, Kagen is an excellent narrator.

This book was a Little Free Library find. I'm really enjoying it so far. It's narrated in the voice of an 11 year old named Shenandoah. Her mother has been missing for a year, her twin sister went mute, and her father is abusive. Shenendoah is the glue trying to hold everything together. There are a lot of outside dynamics at play, which make this book a page turner. #WeekendReads #Bookworm #Bibliophile #SummerReads
