Boo k Revi ew - C o m e F a l l b y A.C.E. Ba u e r ( J BAU) Lu Zimmer’s best friend moved away last summer. Salman Page is the new kid in school. Blos Pease takes everything literally. Three kids on the fringe of the middle school social order find each other and warily begin to bond. Then, through no fault of their own, Salman and Lu become pawns in a game of jealous one-upmanship between Oberon and Titania, the King and Queen of Faery. The mischievous Puck with the help of a magical crow tries to keep the peace, but at what cost to the kids?. Why I picked it up: I'm a fan of Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead which tells the story of minor characters in Shakepseare's Hamlet, and liked the idea of a story involving a minor character from another Shakespearean play, in this instance A Midsummer Night's Dream. Why I finished it: The three main characters are all engaging and Bauer switches points of view between them and Puck which keeps the story interesting. I cared about Lu, Salman, and Blos and wanted them to continue their friendship and overcome the challenges posed by both the real world and the world of Faery. Who I would give it to: The new kid in school, the child who feels like an outsider and anyone who has ever felt like he/she doesn't fit in. By Michele
