We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry
3.75
Every individual aspect of this sounds like it was handcrafted in a lab for me. Altogether, it’s like a cheesy eighties high school movie except it stars a field hockey team who practices witchcraft with help from Emilio Estevez. Yes, star of the breakfast club and the mighty ducks, d2, and d3, that Emilio Estevez. Well, a photo of him on a notebook but that’s weirder right? Add in things like a sentient pair of over-bleached bangs and you know you’re in for a ride.
This book is completely and utterly ridiculous and yet highly entertaining all the same. Even with all the weirdness it manages to be touching at certain points and it’s a fun coming of age story that plays into all the ridiculousness of teenage girlhood. It’s bizarre in nearly every way but still a good time.
