I'm sorry! xD The book is supposed to be published in March so it's really early to post the review now... I can tell you though that's a book I would have loved when I was around 8 years old...

Book slumps are terrible! I've read a LOT this year, most were 'meh', a few were very good. But Skin Lane by Neil Bartlett was/is the one book I've read this year that left an indelible impression. I read it in one sitting, and then opened it back up and immediately read it again. I love when that happens, even if only rarely.
