Happy book birthday to Some Kind of Animal by Maria Romasco Moore! This is definitely an odd story, with one normal twin and one animalistic living in the woods. I have no idea what to think of this book, but I can at least say this: the premise is very unique.
Buy it?
A story about two girls guarding a secret no one would ever believe and the desperate lengths they will go to in order to protect each other from the outside world.
Jo lives in the same town where her mother disappeared fifteen years ago. Everyone knows what happened to Jo’s mom. Now people are starting to talk about Jo. She’s barely passing her classes and falls asleep at her desk every day. She’s following in her mom’s footsteps. Jo has a secret — she has a twin sister. Her sister is not like most people. She lives in the woods, wild and free. Night after night, as often as she can manage, Jo slips out of her bedroom window and meets her sister in the woods, where together they run, fearlessly.
When Jo’s twin attacks a boy from town, the people in town assume it must have been Jo. Now Jo has to decide whether to tell the world about her sister or to run. SOME KIND OF ANIMAL is an accessible, feminist thriller that digs into themes of sisterhood, family, and friendship.
