I wish I could give half stars. I think this book deserves more than 3 stars for being quick to capture my attention, an interesting and creepy concept, and overall a decent story; however, it doesn't deserve 4 stars because as far as endings go, I don't really feel like this book had much closure. I was expecting more. I did enjoy it though and would still recommend this book.

This is a eerie horror fantasy, about an anxious boy coming to terms with what 'normal' means and learning about the questionable desirability of perfection. Evocative spare prose and unsettling illustrations. See my full review here.

A nice little strange & creepy story. I’m definitely not the target audience for this one but there were some parts that definitely would have scared me when I was younger! I listened to this one and the narrator was wonderful.
