OMG - Love Aubrey. Why does a book aimed at 11yo+ have me in floods of tears?

I was looking for books to buy my 11yo niece for her birthday. Came across this one - decided to buy it for me - she is into adventure and spies and stuff, so bought an Alex Rider and some others

Anyway,.... has anyone read this?

Great news that you liked it! Has she read any Meg Rosoff? She might like 'How I live now' too.

But why shouldn't a book aimed at 11 year olds move you to tears?! Some of the best things I've read have been for children/teenagers. They are a tough audience to please so authors have to work hard capture their imaginations and keep them reading.

My Dd and I loved that book and yep, tears from both of us!!!

Thanks for this thread LG. Having just read my last book in my pile I was lost on what next. Have just ordered this from Amazon now, sounds right up my street. £2.75 for a used hardcover too!! Bargain!!

You're welcome! I've never really paid attention to the 'used' and other seller link before. But have found it a good way to buy cheaper books that are in good condition

Hope you enjoy it
