Rachel Hopkins Salem HS<\/p>\n<p>I also thought this was good, but felt it is more a title for younger readers (5-7th grade) and I wouldn&#8217;t recommend as a Flume book. Mary Lockhart Howe Library<\/p>\n<p>I love Jasper Fforde&#8217;s books, and this is a good intro for those who might find his other books intimidating. It is young, though.<br \/>Kelly Budd, Keene High School<\/p>\n<p>I tried to get into this book, but it just didn&#8217;t hold my interest. It does seem young for the Flume list.<br \/>Kathy Pearce, Oyster River HS<\/p>\n<p>Jasper Fforde is second only to Terry Pratchett in my estimation. I loved this book but its appearance make it appealing to a younger audience. I think this is a shame and I hope it is on the Isinglass list. Maybe another one of Fforde&#8217;s books will be nominated in future years. Sally Nelson, Leach Library.
