Liesl Po Lauren Oliver Kei Acedera 9780062014511 Books

A beautiful, heart warming story with a timeless adventure that all of us can relate it.

This poignant story starts off with a letter from Lauren talking about her journey with Liesel and her inspiration for her story. This personal letter is so moving, that it made me teary eyed, and I admire Lauren even more so for sharing it. It really set the tone for her book and often times through out the story I thought back to what I read. I really hope they keep it in the published copy. Though the story was a personal one for Lauren, it became personal for me as well. I really love that she wrote the story in that manner. It's one that anyone who's every lost someone close to them can relate to. It's story about love, heartache, despair, hope, adventure, friendship and so much more.

This story is centered on a young girl named Liesel. This sweet, compassionate, caring young girl is both friendless and lonely as she's been locked in the attic by her stepmother after her beloved father passed away. Things change for her when she meets Po, a mysterious boy who's drawn to her by her light. What ensues is a beautiful friendship founded on trust and love. Not the romantic kind of love, but the love you have for someone you start to care about them. The humor and wit really pick up in the story when Po and Will, the alchemist's apprentice meet. It made for some great laugh out loud lines. The best way to describe these two guys is to say, Po was the protector Liesel needed on her journey and Will became the friend she always wanted. These characters so richly written, in depth, and lively. I love the way Lauren intertwined their stories throughout the book.

I've not yet seen the published copy, but the ARC cover is gorgeous! I love the tattered edge pages (I know there's an actual name for it) and the illustrations are amazing! I can't wait to see what they look like in the published book, because in the arc, these whimsical illustrations really added a new depth to this story. I'm a huge sucker for illustrations in MG books and these are some of my favorites. I love the shadowing on them, the way the simple illustration mark the beginning of a new chapter and I love that each illustration captures both the feel of the story and the magic behind it. These illustrations are truly the perfect match for this incredible story.

Liesel & Po's story is charming, moving, heartwarming, enduring, and captivating. There are so many elements within this story that readers of all age will relate to it. Some of the stronger themes that I enjoyed are that of family (whether you're blood related or not), love, loneliness, grieving, finding hope and realizing happiness is truly all around us and sometimes found in the most unlikely places. This a story that kids, teens, and adults will truly fall in love with, be moved by and take comfort in. I highly recommend picking this book up on Tuesday, when it's out!

Liesl Po Lauren Oliver Kei Acedera 9780062014511 Books Reviews

I have read some of Lauren Oliver's YA lit, and one of the things I liked about the Delerium series in particular was her beautiful prose. She has a way with the written word, and she has good plot ideas. With her YA works, it seems like she was sometimes trying too hard to be a teenager and the details were occasionally a little sloppy. But I liked them enough that when I saw this as a daily deal, I checked it out. Reading the plot summary made it a done deal for purchasing. I absolutely love this kind of story - a cute ghost story that has a dark, but also airy feel to it. Hard to explain really, but I would go so far as to describe it as Neil Gaiman-esque.

So I bought it and decided to read it with my 7-year-old daughter. We absolutely loved it! She really is a very poetic writer, but it wasn't so academic as to go over my daughter's head. It's just beautiful writing. Proof that children's books do not need to be dumbed down to be enjoyable to kids. The plot was complex enough to remain interesting, but again, was also simple enough to be age appropriate. I could see where it was going from early on, but my daughter couldn't, and the ride to the conclusion was very enjoyable anyway. I was often tempted to read ahead by myself after my daughter went to bed (but I didn't cheat). I intend to buy a hard copy for my daughter to keep in her collection of favorites that she rereads before she goes to bed. For the record, my daughter is actually very sensitive and this was not at all too dark for her as was suggested by another reviewer.

I know Lauren Oliver is trying to write more YA and adult material, but I honestly think she should stick with this age group. This is easily the best book of hers that I have read so far, and it appears to be the best reviewed, obviously for a reason. I would highly recommend this book if this is the kind of story you and/or your kids would like.
This is a beyond beautiful book! Yes, it's middle grade, but please don't dismiss it for that as that would be a huge disservice to this dark, magical and deeply moving tale! Their are big themes in this book, in a way a 9-12 year old could understand them yes but that does not diminish their impact at all! It deals with loss, love, life, and death. It invoked powerful feelings in me, to the point a couple times I had to take a breather and there were several tears. For a book to get that big of a response out of me says quite a bit! I may get teary eyed usually but not full on tears, or choked up to the point of needing to put the book down to get myself together, but this book did just that!

It was beautifully paced, the writing was great, all the characters were developed. The main characters are Liesl (a strong 11 year old girl), Will (a brave young boy), and Po (a genderless ghost with his cute cat-dog ghost companion named Bundle). The other characters also got their moments, in fact several of them got their POV and normally that might make it confusing for me but that wasn't the case here, instead it sucked me into the story even more!

I didn't expect to get so much out of a middle grade book, it made me feel, sucked me in, gave me tears and even made me think on several occasions. I was pleasantly surprised!

This story is a truly magical adventure and I highly recommend it!
