A strange, sometimes mystical coming of age book. The plot moves along quickly, although there are certain moments where you have to stop and wonder what on earth Newt's parents are thinking. The author did a good job of depicting a quirky island culture that could be simultaneously appealing to some and utterly unappealing to others, which made Newt's feelings about wanting to leave as believable as those of his friends which wish to stay.
