Book Review-A Children's Bible
A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet YA Fiction 2020 224 pages Just to be clear, this book is not actually a bible. But it is a refreshing journey into the ‘what if’ of the eventual ‘big storm’. Staunchly YA, with nods to the younger MG brethren, this is a romp with fascinating insights. Wonderful dialogue keeps the dozens of characters alive and distinct, not an easy task when the ages vary so greatly. When I say staunchly YA, what I really mean is anti-adult. A regular dose of parental malfeasance makes it easy to identify with the children in that regard. Thanks to Lydia Millet’s careful voice I was able to take a frank look at myself and my friends-and what our antics must look like to our kids.
