10 STARS, WHAT?! If I could give this book a million stars, I would. Favorite book I have read all year. I could not put this book down. There’s so many things I could say about it. The story was so compelling, I was constantly wondering what was going on, and I was wrong every time. The twists and turns at the end were AMAZING. And as an elementary art teacher, I especially loved reading the interview with the artists at the end, discussing how they went about imitating children’s art. This is probably my favorite book I have read all year. Maybe ever. So so good.

I would give this like a 4.5. It was good and creepy and I did not see the ending coming at all. I just wasn’t super into the story so that’s why it wasn’t 5 stars.

I’m struggling immensely to put my thoughts into words with this. Let me start off by saying the pictures in this book are the best part. I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of an illustrated mystery for adults. I just wish the whole thing was executed better.
Set aside the blatant dislike for atheists, the whole idea that Mallory never once noticed that Teddy wasn’t a boy is beyond mind boggling. I’m also very confused by the fact that Mallory’s mother couldn’t help her with her drug addiction because … she was … too fat? What? Maybe just look at the pictures and enjoy that part of the book and consider it a read.
