The PJ Our Way Advisory Committee Reviews The Magical Imperfect

Here’s what they had to say about it:

1. What was your favorite thing about this book?

2. Does this book remind you of any other books?

• Odder by Katherine Applegate because it is also in a poetry format
• Wings to Soar by Tina Athaide
• The Girl with the Secret Name by Yael Zoldan
• Starfish by Lisa Fipps because they are both books about Jewish kids overcoming obstacles, people being more than how they look, and they are both written as poetry
• Right Back at You by Carolyn Mackler

3. Is there anything else you’d like to add about The Magical Imperfect?

• I like how the book is written like poetry but there is no rhyming. The dialogue is very interesting. It is in italics and not in quotation marks. - Miles
• It was a nice story about friendship. I liked the story and seeing what would happen next. At first I didn’t want to read it because it looked like a poem. But I read it and it was much better than I expected! I liked how these two people had the same troubles and could help each other. - Eliana
• I liked how Malia and Etan had a good relationship. - Shayna
• This book is written in verse so if you like poems you should definitely try this book! - Romi
• This book was really cool because each page had a name and them poem-like writing. The plot was very interesting too. The characters were full of depth and fun to learn about. – Gianna
