My thoughts:
I truly enjoyed reading Blue! The author developed characters as people you could relate to in real life. The hopes and dreams of a four-teen-year old girl, the balance between a parent’s enduring love and sacrifices they make for their child while only wanting the best for them, and a magical place that resides in each of us. The challenges Chris, Becky, and Miea must engage are all together different but are masterfully intertwined into a heart felt story about life’s ups and downs, believing, and real magic that can be found if one looks. A reader’s voyage that will inspire!
