The Year of Secret Assignments
by Jaclyn Moriarty
A quick, fun read with the benefit of the characters being Australian, so I could imagine them talking in Australian accents. However, if I had seen this in a bookstore instead of online, there’s no way I would have bought it. The packaging is awful—a pretty lame cover and badly printed on bright white text paper. Also, the back ad copy is atrocious—just because shallow YA books sell well doesn’t mean that books with characters that aren’t vapid need cover copy that sounds like they are.
