I cannot say what a loss it is for the world that Vonnegut has now passed. In this, his last book, the cantankerous old man we know and love is free to express himself and wax on eloquently. From this, I do believe that I may be a humanist, and certainly that we've lost a natioanl treasure this year.

The Space Between Trees Chronicle Books,274pp.,$17.99 Katie Williams ISBN978-0-7175-4 “This is where Zabet walked. This is where the killer walked. My footsteps in theirs.” 16 year old Evie’s friend Zabet was found murdered in Hokepe Woods. Her friend Hadley helps find clues. Together, they try to find out who killed Zabet and who might be killed next. Evie and Hadley risk their lives for their dead friend. The Space Between Trees by Katie Williams is a great fast-pacing first person point of view mystery. I thought that the end of the book wasn’t satisfying and there was some bad language which I found annoying but other wise, it was great! Katie Williams did a good job with making it mysterious and suspenseful so I could not put it down! She also made me feel like I was Evie, trying to find the murderer because the way she described the spooky woods at night and Evie waiting for the murderer to come, I could imagine myself there. I think that The Space Between Trees is a young adult book for 12 to13 year old girls who like mysteries and murder stories. I thought that it was fun to guess who killed Zabet. “It would have been something if the killer had come crashing though the woods right then and there. You wouldn’t believe it, not even in a story. In reality, it takes almost an hour until he arrives.” — Sophie Poindexter
