7 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
Mori and her friends live a normal life on Firefly Lane in their utopian community, Old Harmonie. In a world this safe and perfect, they've never had to question anything . . . never had to wonder about how their lives came to be. Until a new girl named Ilana moves in. She's so perfect that Mori and her friends are curious . . . Where exactly did Ilana come from, and why does she act so strange sometimes? When Ilana's secret is revealed, the kids on Firefly Lane must decide: is it finally time to start questioning the only world they've ever known? In a stunningly imaginative story, critically acclaimed author Megan Frazer Blakemore takes readers on a journey with five friends--new and old--that will have everyone talking about not just what makes people human, but what makes them true friends.

Yesterday, we had a successful family outing to the library. Everyone got something! I'm thinking this needs to become more of a regular thing! 💛📚

Cute MG sci-fi novel about kids living in a "utopian" community based on the ideals of "creativity, ingenuity, experimentation, & order." Like all utopias, it sounds great in theory but starts to fall apart in practice.

It's a good intro for kids, with a pro-nature/anti-conformist message. The writing isn't stellar, and for an adult, the plot is very predictable - but it's still compelling & I'll likely pick up the sequel.

"Theo and I walked along the street with the two yellow circles of light from our flashlights in front of us. They bounced together, and then apart, and then together again. Each time we stepped, our feet made a slapping noise as the soles of our shoes hit the still-wet street."

Blackmore captures what it's like to be a kid in the summertime, feeling the first fluttering of romance. Remember your first crush, who lived down the street? I do!

I wanted to like this more than I did. The premise excited me (genetic engineering, AI, futuristic utopian society), but the story seemed slow. Also craved more emotions from the characters. Though, Blakemore did a pretty good job writing about complicated topics for middle grade readers.
