I am reviewing a copy of A Soft Place to Land through HarperCollins Children’s Books/Katherine Tegen Books and Netgalley:
After her Father looses his job Joy Taylor finds that she and her family must move out of the home she lived her entire life in, and they have to move into a small apartment where she has to share a bedroom with her little sister. The apartment becomes a place for tense arguments between Mom and Dad. Hardest of all, Joy doesn’t have her music to escape through anymore. Without enough funds, her dreams of becoming a great pianist and one day, a film score composer have been put on hold.
A new neighbor, who fast becomes a friends let ‘s Joy in on the complex’s best-kept secret: the Hideout, a cozy refuge that only the kids are aware of. And it’s in this little hideaway that Joy starts exchanging secret messages with another kid in the building who also seems to be struggling, until abruptly, they stop writing back. What if they’re in trouble?
Joy I wants to find out who the mystery writer is fast, but between trying to raise funds for her music lessons, keeping on a brave face for her little sister, and worrying about her parents’ marriage, Joy isn’t sure how to keep her own head above water.
I give A Soft Place to Land five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
