BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SOME
Razzi and the kids have a huge mansion to run around in, but they are rarely allowed to go Outside. Ollie wanted so badly to be Outside and he died because of it. Razzie has always been the Oldest, the leader, the rule follower. But ever since she had her heart transplant, she has been a bit different.
While I had some fun with Holm’s latest, I was personally put off by the heart transplant and its source being the impetus behind Razzie’s changes. While ages are never specified, Razzie seems to be moving into teenhood, which should be enough to inspire her changes and actions. You should point your readers towards Running Out of Time by Haddix or Bodeen’s The Compound series
