I obviously need to reevaluate some of my impressions of what “young adult” means. This book pulls no punches, both in how it ruthlessly critiques pretty much everything wrong with America (in the 1920s and now) and grinds your heart to bloody pulp beneath its heel.
The sheer wholesomeness of the found family that is the Diviners crew is such a stark contrast to the horrors they face. Prepare for an emotional roller coaster of dazzling heights and stomach-dropping lows.
