Book Review: A Corner of White by Jaclyn Moriarty



Find it at Chandler Public Library

 The worlds presented in Moriarty's A Corner of White, while almost overly-goofy and caricatured, seem real enough and welcoming enough, but it is her characters Madeleine and Elliot that really endear you to her story.

We all have dealt with the loss of family, but Moriarty parallels the two teen's heartbreak and self discovery in a way that so genuine that the other-worldliness and magic of the way in which they communicate and the differences between the two worlds fit seemlessly and perfectly. Battling disbelief and deception, Madeleine and Elliot work together to heal not only their broken families, but also the worlds in which they live.

I look forward to the next adventure of Madeleine and Elliot in The Colors of Madeleine series! - Elisia (Sunset Library)
