I'll be honest,
Among Others by Jo Walton is kind of a weird book. Told as journal entries written by 15 year-old Mori, we learn through the narrative that she is coping with life after the death of her twin. Forced to start over amongst strangers, Mori consoles herself by voraciously reading Sci-Fi novels and trying to envision an unexpected life for herself. Oh yeah, and her mother is a witch who she must ultimately face in order to save the world. Part coming-of-age story, part fantasy,
Among Others is a little outside the box, but definitely worth a read. HM
