A review by brookerhees
The Real Boy by Anne Ursu, Erin Mcguire

2.0

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did. liked what she tried to do with the characters, and the core "magic vs non-magic for problem solving" question. But I felt unsatisfied at the end, like there were still gaps to fill, and there were some pretty dark moments for a kids book, which took me by surprise at first and left a bad taste in my mouth as I kept reading.
