Flannery
Flannery | Lisa Moore
11 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
Sixteen-year-old Flannery Malone has it bad. Shes been in love with Tyrone ORourke since the days she still believed in Santa Claus. But Tyrone has grown from a dorky kid into an outlaw graffiti artist, the rebel-with-a-cause of Flannerys dreams, literally too cool for school. Which is a problem, since he and Flannery are partners for the entrepreneurship class that she needs to graduate. And Tyrones vanishing act may have darker causes than she realizes. Tyrone isnt Flannerys only problem. Her mother, Miranda, cant pay the heating bills, let alone buy Flannerys biology book. Her little brother, Felix, is careening out of control. And her best-friend-since-forever, Amber, has fallen for a guy who is making her forget all about the things shes always cared most about Flannery included leading Amber down a dark and dangerous path of her own. When Flannery decides to make a love potion for her entrepreneurship project, rumors that it actually works go viral, and she suddenly has a hot commodity on her hands. But a series of shattering events makes her realize that real-life love is far more potent and potentially damaging than any fairy-tale prescription. Written in Lisa Moores exuberant and inimitable style, Flannery is by turns heartbreaking and hilarious, empowering and harrowing often all on the same page. It is a novel whose spell no reader will be able to resist.

4/5🌟To start with Lisa Moore is a wonderful award winning Canadian writer! I love her style and how truly Canadian her stories are. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.Its a touching and funny coming of age story.Flannery is a great character, very relatable. I also enjoyed her mom even through her faults. Moore's proficient storytelling shines throughout. I think even readers who dont typically read a lot of YA would enjoy this one too. #bookreview

Sweet but surprisingly dark at times, Lisa Moore's first YA novel shares the life of Flannery Malone, a 16 y.o. girl who has to spend her senior year of highschool dealing with the eccentricities of her single artist-gone-blogger mom Miranda while she whips up a love potion for an entrepeneurship project at school with the boy she has loved since they were babies, Tyrone O'Rourke *swoon*
A quick read that hides a lot more under the surface.

merelybookish I read this! It's set in Newfoundland right? 6y

Funny, honest and emotionally searing, Moore's latest book is a brilliant exploration of love and relationships. Check out the full review here: murmurs-in-the-margins.com

This book has so many layers! It's like Flannery is trying to figure out what, exactly, love is.

The National Post Bestseller list was from my store this week, and I'm so pleased with the list I was able to provide for children's chapter books. ❤️

Just started this book. I love the way that Moore can give so much back story with a few well-placed sentences.

CuriousTeeth So true! I love the mother/daughter dynamic so much. 8y
LA_Mead Yes! So good! 8y

Attention #CanLit fans: there's a new redhead heroine on the island! (Newfoundland, to be precise). I loved Lisa Moore's Flannery. The novel follows the title character through the trials and tribulations of high school, friendship, first love, and family. Great read!

Jilanna Hmm...this reminds me that I'm supposed to borrow the copy I gave my niece once she's read it...time to check in with her. Again. :) Lisa Moore is an excellent writer. February is one of the best books I've ever read. Still in Newfoundland, but quite different -- have you read Come, Thou Tortoise by Jessica Grant? 8y
JDR @Jilanna just looked up the description of 'Come, Thou Tortoise'. Sounds good! I'll add it to my never ending TBR list. 8y

Very excited to find Lisa Moore in the YA section today. Looking forward to introducing someone special to one of my #Atlantic #CanLit heroes!

Jilanna Would it be wrong to read it before giving it to her? ;) #ofcoursenot #notime 9y
Angelala007 Wrong? No way! Call it quality control. Although with Lisa Moore quality is guaranteed. ❤️ 9y
Jilanna @Angelala007 - Guaranteed! February is one of my all-time favourite books. 9y
