I enjoyed Candy Gourlay's Tall Story
*Observer*
This is a story that is funny, sad and magical. I thought the
author chose a good subject to write about because she wrote about
very real emotions. She also added a bit of imagination which made
it very interesting. The main characters tell the story in
alternate chapters. I would recommend this book - pure
brilliant!
