I love the writing and how they author put in her own experience to tie in with the story

The Anybodies was slow starting for me and I almost abandoned the book, I'm glad I hung in there until the end. This is a fantasticically illustrated novel with Lemony Snicket-esque overtones. Fern finds out that she was swapped at birth and that her dull parents the Drudgers aren't actually her parents at all. This information is relayed to Fern when her father the Bone shows up at the door with the Drudgers true son, Howard. The families decide to swap kids for the summer and this is where the adventure begins. Fern goes undercover with her birth father to locate a lost manuscript and encounters magical creatures and plenty of adventure. This book is pefect for reading aloud as a family or enjoying alone. 4 stars, recommended to fans of Lemony Snicket or the fantasy genre
