I did enjoy reading this book. I felt as though a few too many things were left unresolved. Did however like Willowdean and her outlook on her body. I loved the group of somewhat unlikely friends and the self discovery along the way.

I wish I had this as a teen to explain the things adults thought were too...."inappropriate"...for me to know, even in regards to my own body. LOVED all the little illustrations and how caring the author was when it came to thoroughly covering each topic....like self-care and body image. It doesn't preach or spout the usual advice that sounds like a broken record - it actively seeks to get teens to think about themselves as more of their own person, instead of an extension of what others want to see.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you were transported to not only another world, but another body? Thats what happened to John. Now not only does he have to deal with an odd and disgusting body, but a malcontent book fairy, a crazed warlock friend and sexy creations. He must also find out what the god shard inside him is directing him toward.

The first in a historical mystery series set during the US Exploration Expedition of the early 1800's. Wiki Coffin, half New Zealander half American, is hired to be a linguist. But the night before they sail, Wiki finds a boat with a dead body inside. The woman was murdered, and there is reason to believe that the killer is with the expedition, especially when another body turns up. The historic details slowed the book down at times, but on the whole I really enjoyed the story, the characters, and the trip back in time.
