�Beautiful, mysterious and deeply satisfying.� �Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medal-winning author of When You Reach Me and Goodbye Stranger The world tilted for Elodee this year, and now it�s impossible for her to be the same as she was before. Not when her feelings have such a strong grip on her heart. Not when she and her twin sister, Naomi, seem to be drifting apart. So when Elodee�s mom gets a new job in Eventown, moving seems like it might just fix everything. Indeed, life in Eventown is comforting and exciting all at once. Their kitchen comes with a box of recipes for Elodee to try. Everyone takes the scenic way to school or work�past rows of rosebushes and unexpected waterfalls. On blueberry-picking field trips, every berry is perfectly ripe. Sure, there are a few odd rules, and the houses all look exactly alike, but it�s easy enough to explain�until Elodee realizes that there are only three ice cream flavors in Eventown. Ever. And they play only one song in music class. Everything may be �even� in Eventown, but is there a price to pay for perfection�and pretending?

This book is gorgeous. It grapples with a lot of heavy questions, especially for middle grade. It‘s in the tradition of The Giver, but it deals with emotion, sacrifice, and loss in a very different way. This is a book I know I‘ll be coming back to.
