With that in mind, you might come away from this review thinking that it all sounds extremely gloomy, but somehow it manages not to be. Through a sprinkling of humour and the positivity of the two narrators, Dear Fang manages to be a transfixing and rewarding read.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag for review. We also have a review of Thorpe's [[The Girls from Corona Del Mar by Rufi Thorpe|The Girls from Corona Del Mar]].
For further reading, those who enjoy emotionally-charged YA may enjoy Jeff Zentner's [[The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner|The Serpent King]], while the theme of mental health is also tackled in [[Panther by David Owen]].
