*The following text is an honest, spoiler free review. Please enjoy.*
Like two sides of a coin this book has two stories; both are interconnected and yet at different times. One story is fully through text while the other is fully through art. Just a suggestion to those who read it, thinking back on it, it would have been way more helpful had I read the text story fully then read the art story. It would have explained a lot.
Cora, Minnie, Thomas, Charles, and Arthur have been put together in a boarding house for the summer. With 5 teenages adventures are a given but what they discover? Not so much. It will take cunningness and sacrifice to stop this sinister plot from unraveling and destroying world.
I will admit this was one of the first young adult books I’ve read that is part text and part art in order to tell a story. Wow... that art was awesome. Seriously paging through it right now it’s breathtaking. It’s that kind of high grade stuff that deserves a place in museum. Then the story… it was so deep and thick. You had so many characters with different dynamics that you had to sort out in your head to just slightly understand them. Everyone had a backstory that was little known yet you could see how each and everyone of them were affected.
Rating: A solid 4.8 out of 5 stars. Trust me when I say this: read this book if you want a challenge or want something more than the typical YA novel. You will not be disappointed.
