Goodreads Synopsis: To Amy, everyone has a flavor. Her mom is the flavor of mint--sharp and bright. Her dad is like hot chocolate--sweet and full of gentle warmth.
Amy lives on a mining colony in out in deep space, but when her dad loses his job the entire family is forced to move back to Earth. Amy says goodbye to her best friend Jemmah and climbs into a cryotube where she will spend the next 30 years frozen in a state of suspended animation, hurtling in a rocket toward her new home. Her life will never be the same, but all she can think about is how when she gets to Earth, Jemmah will have grown up without her.
When Amy arrives on Earth, she feels like an alien in a strange land. The sky is beautiful but gravity is heavy and the people are weird. Stranger still is the boy she meets at her new school--a boy who has no flavor.
My Thoughts: This graphic novel is what I needed after reading a couple over 400 page novels recently.
The story was so unique and realistic. The way Amy is feeling is exactly how a teenager would feel if she had to be frozen for thirty years to return back to earth and still be the same age. I think her mom was kinda pushy on the subject of her calling her best friend who is now thirty years older than her. I cant blame Amy for blowing up like that towards her mom. The title confused me until we were introduced to the boy with no flavor so I'm hoping to learn more about him in part two. Such a great read I definitely think the series is worth a try.
