*A friend who is also an avid reader, suggested this title to me. She commented the story was like nothing else she had ever read. I downloaded the title via Audible and have been listening to the story over the last couple of weeks.
What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
*The story begins with a young boy named Hex who doesn't always make the best decisions which land him in trouble.
*After his latest trouble, he finds himself in a clearing with a house he has never seen before. It is here he meets a strange old woman and her dog.
*He is offered a deal that will change his life. He isn't sure if he should accept the offer, and also doesn't know the same thing has happened to others.
*The next day his best friend wakes up, and realizes the his world feels and appears different.
*Tommo begins to ask questions and searches for ways to figure out what is truly going on.
What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
*After listening to the first chapter, I texted by friend and told her I was "confused". She said keep listening.
*Once I got a bit of an idea of what was happening, the story started to become a bit more clear.
*Then the plot turned, and I was confused once again.
*This mysterious story was well written, had a lot going on, and traveled between multiple worlds.
*I really tried to listen intently, but found it difficult to truly ever understand what was truly going on.
Who Should Read It:
*This middle-grade novel was not for me, but I'm sure there are readers out there who would appreciate the mystery, suspense, and alternating worlds. The story is advertised for middle-grade readers, but I would say the book would be geared toward the middle-school and high-school reader. Some adult readers might also enjoy. Happy Reading!
