Creech, Sharon The Great Unexpected, 226 pgs. Harper Collins Children; 2012. $16.99. Language: G; Violence: G; Mature Content: G. Orphans Naomi and Lizzy are best friends, but when a boy named Finn falls out of a tree, things begin to change for them. Intriguing and mysterious, Finn makes Naomi jealous and Lizzy excited; and who is the Dingle Dangle man everyone is talking about? There’s also a mysterious woman in Ireland who is the feature of occasional alternate chapters.
The parallel stories may confuse the elementary reader, however, the mystery keeps the story going, the stories connect beautifully and I was happy with the satisfying ending. MS ADVISABLE Lisa Librarian
