Cat's Review - HAYWIRE

Elle Strauss (link) is a great writer and bloggy friend, and when she asked if I'd like to help promote her latest middle-grade novel IT'S A LITTLE HAYWIRE, I said a big yes!

Great news: Today only, it's FREE on Amazon! So run grab your copy here (link), and I'll list it again after Cat's review.

I read the book, of course, and loved it. The main character Owen True has a great name, and an equally great voice that pulls you right in. Laura Pauling (link) compared it to Because of Winn Dixie, and I think she's made the perfect comparison.

But instead of a boring old grown-up review, I asked my nine year-old daughter Catherine "Cat" to read and review it, and here's what she had to say.

LTM: So, Catibug, what was your favorite scene in HAYWIRE?

CGM: My favorite scene is the first time Owen ever saw the fog snake because it's exciting, and we don't really know what's happening. That makes it kind of exciting because it's all a mystery.

LTM: Who was your favorite character?

CGM: My favorite character was Owen True because he reminded me of a good friend of mine. He sounds like a nice guy, and I liked it when he wanted to [help others].

LTM: What was the most exciting part of the story?

CGM: The most exciting part was when the fog snake threw things at him. It was funny and ironic, too, because hey, it's fog. (Note: I had to change this because it had some spoilers in it. Once you read the book, you might understand why it's ironic.)

Cat loving HAYWIRE

LTM: What would you tell somebody who was thinking about reading this book?

CGM: I would tell them it's a really good book, and that he/she would like it if they ever read it. 

LTM: Did it remind you of any other book you've read?

CGM: It sort of reminded me of A Scary Good Book because they're trying to solve a mystery but trying to accomplish something at the same time.

(Note: Cat also reviewed Anita Laydon Hill's middle-grade mystery for me at this link.)

LTM: If you could ask the author a question about the book, what would it be?

CGM: I would ask why the main character's name is Owen True and not like Sam or something. And why she decided to write this story.
