Such an eerie yet beautiful book that reminded me of the innocence of childhood. The curiosity felt as the story progressed was artfully done. Such a unique story, magical realism is an unmatched genre. The whimsical mystery is a perfect feeling I got from the novel.
Graphic: Child abuse, Death, and Torture
Moderate: Bullying, Suicide, and Abandonment
