2011 books 119 and 120

Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy Go Over the Big Hill
This book heavily features a subplot involving Little Syria, a depiction that, as an adult, I have mixed feelings about (on the whole, pretty much non-racist, though Lovelace does emphasize that the Syrians are Christians and really into becoming Americans).

Nova Ren Suma's Imaginary Girls
The story here involves two sisters and moves from somewhat sinister to downright weird in a heartbeat. I still haven't decided what I think about it. B.
