So quirky and cute that I went for this book immediately. I’m not sure if the Yoda speaking will appeal to them but I imagine it appeals to the science fiction fans so that’s a plus there. The author, Cathy Octo, seems to have a light writing style which will please a younger audience.
And while I enjoyed the writing style of the author, the characters were not as enjoyable. ‘The Quirky Tale of April Hale’ is a story about a girl, April Hale, who’s a little different from the rest of us. It will give you butterflies in the stomach, tickle your funny bones, and pull at your heartstrings until the very last page.
Join April and Ryder in their journey to discovering more about life… and about each other. In this delightfully wacky and fun story, we discover that sometimes what makes us outcasts from the world are the very things that make us special. Hell-bent on making contact, Ryder gets a sneak peek into the quirky world of April when she stuffs all of her fingers in her mouth and faints the first time he talks to her. Until that one morning that Ryder catches her looking into his bedroom window… and she becomes all but anonymous in his eyes. She has also spent the past few years eavesdropping on the Blacks’ morning fights. But it’s his knack for getting into fights that makes him notorious.ĭorky, clumsy, and just plain odd-April Hale talks like Yoda, eats her food based on the day of the week, and prefers binge watching TV shows to partying.
Surprisingly, he’s impressively academic, too. Tall, dark, and mysterious-Ryder Black is everything a girl wants. The Quirky Tale of April Hale by Cathy Octo – Book Review
