This book is - according to the blurb highly praised - first novel by New Zealand author Jessica Grant . It travels the young Audrey , because of their diverse, often endearing quirks " Oddly ", is their adopted country USA to their old home in Canada. Her father is killed in an accident, and together with Uncle Thoby, whose one arm is much longer than the other, then there is this, and to regulate it and find out.
The book impresses with wit, and I am afraid some of it was lost in the translation. Oddly moves in a world full of sights and wonders. Live it obliquely in a world as the rest of us, or is it because they are "not intelligent"? Who knows! After all, even commented on her remaining in the U.S. Turtle diligently with (which I found quite superfluous), and at the end there are some truly surprising twists.
The book is easy breezy read, was entertaining, but specific draft or a compelling story I have not discovered it, so unfortunately, despite sympathy
*** (three out of five)
