The Last Akaway is a wonderful read, filled with adventure and quirky diction. I loved every moment of this YA novel, and even as an adult I could not put this down. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Great book!!! ( )

I'm always looking for books that encourage generational connections or connections to the natural world. This book hits it out of the part. This is a quiet fantasy for younger boys age 7-11, those boys who are beginning to get quite enamored with the gaming technology. What I liked best was Grammy's personality, a little hard or hearing, she was always messing up what Brody was talking about which would make it a great read aloud. ( )
