If I could rate this book more than 5 stars I would. I seriously think this book is a hidden gem and needs to be talked about and showcased more on socials. I’ve personally never read a cult escape book aimed at middle grade readers. And I am so down for it! The author dealt with the cult aspect of it in such a gentle and well done way to create mystery, a sense of danger and urgency while not scaring the reader. She creates a villain figure with Dr. Ben without making him a stereotypical villain. I loved the internal conflict of Fern and the journey she takes. I read it on a 24 hour period and had to be forced to put it down. Fantastic book.

Suffered from a very mushy middle. Dynamite opening and ending propping up 200 pages of trying to send a letter in the mail. 💤
