Emmy & Oliver by Robin BenwayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is just one of the books you don't want to end! If only I could continue reading about these characters and where life continues to take them! Thank you Robin Benway for creating a YA book that is age appropriate and "gets" teenagers. Thank you for keeping the material appropriate to put in a junior high library for my 8th graders to get excited about how great high school can be and strong friendships do exist.
Emmy & Oliver share the same birthday, live next door to each other and are best friends. That is, until Oliver goes missing after a long weekend with his dad. Oliver's parents are divorced and his father has decided to keep Oliver - permanently. Until one day when the kids are 17 years-old and Oliver has been found.
Emmy has waited her whole life to be reunited with Oliver. Will they still be best friends? How does Oliver now fit into the group of friends he was quickly whisked away from?
This story is beautifully written and you will feel like you know Emmy & Oliver as well as your own friends by the time you are finished with this book.
Laugh out loud funny, sarcastic and emotional.
Coming this spring to the LV IMC!
