I had such a great time reading and enjoying The Aquamarine Surfboard by Kellye Abernathy. The description of life by the beach was brought to life by Abernathy's descriptions. There was something homey about it while at the same time feeling other-worldly. 

Condi, the 13 year old girl at the center of the story, was lovely to read about. Her circumstances as well as her determination and eagerness created a well-rounded character that readers of all ages could definitely enjoy and cheer for. Thirteen is such an important age. It is an age where we are not necessarily a child, but also not necessarily a teenager either. I feel that The Aquamarine Surfboard shows the reader the juxtaposition of the in-between time where the magic of childhood hasn't completely diminished as we edge toward the blossoming of getting older. 

There is a whole other level to this story that involves the Beachlings, a group of local women, that certainly gives more weight to this story. It shows us Condi's struggles with how her community is changing and the underlying stories beneath the surface of the town and Condi's life. Due to this level of complexity, I see older middle grade readers as well as young adults (and adults, of course) enjoying this story. 

There are truly layers to this story, and I believe that Abernathy did a wonderful job in relaying this lovely story to readers. From the magic of living near the water, the eagerness of growing up to the complexity of community - it is all engrossing and results into quite the page-turner. This is definitely a book that needs to be on your list!

They say never judge a book by it's cover, and we really shouldn't, but when the book has a cover like Odd Birds? Well, do you blame me for wanting to pick it up? 

Odd Birds is a detailed and atmospheric story set in the early 1960s about our protagonist, Cosimo and his losses and travels, along to the land of San Antonio, Texas. It's been a long time since I've been to San Antonio myself, but I could picture it with the lovely details by the author, Severo Perez. 

Along with the detailed description of "place", we also have fantastic descriptions of the characters. Each with their own very particular personalities and quirks. 

Odd Birds is a dual focused story focused on the Cuban-born artist Cosimo and his travels in having followed his love to Texas and its partner story of those who work at the local library. Namely, that of the assistants, Richard, Maddie, and Oscar, and their navigation of each day to day. A great juxtaposition to these three within the library is that of the character of Ruthann, the librarian who definitely has a hard time with the integration and change going on in the library. 

What I truly found within the pages of Odd Birds was the realization that all things change, as much as we mourn the losses, and all the bittersweetness that comes with it. I recommend this book to all open to reading about the pain and love that can come with change.
