Thom reviewed Switching well by Peni R. Griffin
Review of 'Switching well' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Chapters alternate between the stories of two different girls (1891 and 1991) who throw a piece of candy into a well and are granted their wish - to live 100 years from when they do now. Each deals with the others environment fairly well, adapting and making friends.
The first third of the book seemed fairly juvenile to me. Once both girls started adapting and plotting ways to try to head home, I thought the writing and story improved, and the book ended on a high note. This author has written other middle grade books and others on this theme. Will try to encourage my middle grader to check out one of the later ones. A solid 3½ stars.
