Multiple narrators

[Joanne]

Writing books often caution YA and children's writers not to use multiple narrators due to the potential confusion factor over just who's speaking now. Having read this book with 3 narrators, first person POV, I now see the reason for the caution.

The book reminded me of a modernized Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, what with multiple romances and identify confusion. It also reminded me of To Kill a Mockingbird, what with the lengthy court scene, but on a more kid-friendly level than Lee's book.

All in all, the book grabbed me and it was a short, engaging read, and fully worth 3 stars. It certainly is a good book to study vis-a-vis narration.
