What is Anokaberry Annotated?
Anokaberry posted the Best Books of 2008 for Middle Grade Readers on January 9, 2009. Anokaberry is now Anokaberry Annotated. This new aspect of the blog means an accent, a tone, a personal, distinct voice may surface. This blog continues to present books published in the current year for middle grade readers but will also have editorial comment and attitude. Look for more ordered labeling for the coming year -- most obviously labeling that denotes genre: realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, biography, poetry and verse, folklore/folktale and fantasy. Next January's list will honor books of excellence by genre.

...The always opinionated, honest, and funny voice of Olivia narrates the bizarre adventure that she and Hal find themselves in, including making prank calls, riding in police cars, and trying to find Hal's missing mother. Siobhan Parkinson uses vivid and colorful wording and has Olivia periodically consulting the reader to make sure that everyone knows how great, yet weird, Hal is. Parkinson's bright word choice paints a playful and surprising picture in your mind as you read this fantastic page turner.
...Parkinson knows how to bring together the comic and heartbreaking without ever manipulating readers, and her characters have a full dose of humanity at their disposal. Memorable, wise and thoroughly entertaining.
