review 1: This was a kids book. Sort of a sci-fi dysotopian Novel. A family of 4 aliens have moved to earth. They look just like humans except their hair turns blue. They blend into society but are figured out and have to escape. They loved earth so much that they try to find a place just like it. Their search leads them to an alternate version of earth. Except this version is run a lot different than what they're used to. I really enjoyed this book. So much so that I wish it hadn't ended where it did. At the very least I wish it had other books.
review 2: You'll Like It Here (Everybody Does) makes a great, quick, entertaining read. If you enjoy classic twilight zone episodes, you'll likely enjoy this middle grade science fiction novel. Meggie Blue, and her brother, Da... morevid, narrate this one. Though readers spend time with the characters before the move to FASHION CITY, most of this one takes place in Fashion City. (To be clear from the start, Fashion City is located in an alternate/parallel universe.) I think the details surrounding Fashion City and the Fathers is best left to the reader to discover. Some of the details about WHO is living in this parallel world is intriguing. For example, Elvis is contemporary with L. Frank Baum who is contemporary with Abraham Lincoln who is contemporary with Grandma Moses who is contemporary with Martin Luther King Jr. I imagine it was very fun for the author to fit these people into her alternate universe and play around with the facts of history. (In this parallel world, Walt Disney was killed as a teenager in war, as was Laura Ingalls.) The character of Gramps is very, very fun! The book is odd and quirky. But. I found it entertaining. less
