A review by bookalorian
The Sunken Tower by Tait Howard
3.0
Comic book type layout. Illustrations were decent enough. The title gave me no indication of what I was about to read so I was really excited.
The kid is looking for food as he is hungry. He walks around and sees all the people eating, browsing and buying things he can't get. A young kid drops strawberries on the ground so the kid picks them up and runs off. The police soon chase him. He will not drop his book. He decides that was too close a call and goes to check the garage bins. Here he sees some kind of weird lizard thing who offers him food. He throws garbage at it and then it ties the kid up.....
I cannot for the life of me see the point of the book. The more i read, the more confusing it got. I'm an adult and was lost but then maybe it wasn't for me to figure out. Maybe I'm too old for the magic :)
I wasn't a fan and didn't see the point but the artistry was lovely and i'm sure kids will like it.
