The Prison Ballerina, A Ghost Story – The Walls Around Us Review

Title: The Walls Around Us Author: Nova Ren Suma Genre: Young Adult Published: March 24, 2015 Rating: ★★★★☆ Sometimes, despite age-old advice, you judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, in a time when Pinterest and Instagram fuel one’s obsession with typography and graphic design, a cover deems a book not only a “want” but a “must have,” no matter what the contents.

March 12, 2015 by Caitlin

What do you say about a hero? Selfishly, I am entirely heartbroken at his passing. I always wanted to meet the man behind some of my favorite books, and that chance has passed.
