Rebecca Stead wrote one of my new favorite books,
When You Reach Me, so I was really excited to see that her new title was nominated for the Mark Twain award. I listened to
Liar and Spy on audio and was underwhelmed. It was the story of a young man who has just moved into a new apartment. He misses his old house, but is trying to make the best of a bad situation. He befriends a boy in the building who is head of a spy club and is convinced that a man in the building is up to no good. As I say, this was not a wow kind of book, but it wasn't terrible. I think kids in 4th or 5th grade might enjoy it more than any other grades.
