I Crawl Through It 
Rating and running on this one! Just didnt get it! Im planning on seeing her at AWRF this year, Ive enjoyed 3 of her other books, but this one is baffling and weird.
I love AS King. Like, auto-buy, stand-in-line-for-hours, always-sing-her-praises kind of love her. Her books have this perfect balance of realistic adolescent frustration, feminism, magical realism, and intelligent characters to please me as a super-picky reader. So when I saw I Crawl Through It on Edelweiss, I downloaded it immediately.And then I was afraid to touch it for six months. I knew this AS King was a little different and, judging from early reviews, not as accessible as her other

It's really a 1.5 stars, but I'll bump it up because maybe I'm just not wired right for this one.I really have no idea what this book is about. I mean, I see the cases of assault and trauma etc., but all of the overbearing metaphor was completely bizarre. From the helicopter that Stanzi can only see on Tuesdays, to Lansdale whose hair grows when she lies, to the dangerous naked man in the bush who will trade kisses for letters (like, ABC letters, not correspondence) and who also occasionally
I Crawl Through It is an amazing just simply amazing book. I have read a lot of books in my lifetime that has tackled serious issues but none like this. I mean I started reading the book early afternoon and finished it the next afternoon because I could not put it down.Life as a teen can be crazy but add in a few issues and these four teens find out that life is not over just because you have gone through a trauma. You can get help and you can trust your friends all you have to do is reach out

What happens when you throw a girl who can split herself in two, another who can swallow herself inside out, a third whose hair grows a foot each time she tells a lie, and a boy who is building an invisible airplane together? Well, you get an A.S. King book. The synopsis for this one was a little . . . off putting (??? for lack of a better term) to me. However, Everybody
I haven't read anything by A.S. King before, but this sounds really interesting. Also Andrew Smith said on his Facebook page that it's one of the best books he's read in his life. So ... I am intrigued. :)
