Inside the Shadow City
I have decided to gt to know more about YA fantasy literature,
so I've been reading some of the books before I place them in my Little Free Library. It took me a while to get into Kiki, but by the end I was almost tempted to get the next volume. But I'll leave it at that. It was fun reading about NYC. I grew up in NJ, only an hour by public transportation into the city, so I recognize some of the areas she mentions. There is a list at the end of one of the last chapters about how to find some of the places mentioned. In fact after almost every chapter, there is a guidebook for being a spy,
which is amusing and useful!
