Mister Magic by Kiersten White

4.0

I finished this on Sunday and have been trying to figure out how to talk about it. I loved it - the first half of the book creates a really great creepy sense of dread. But this book is deeper than it seems, and I sort of feel like telling you about the allegory the children's TV show Mister Magic represents would spoil the story, so suffice to say I really appreciated reading a book with that representation. I got Cabin in the Woods vibes from some of this and I wanted more of some of the background info, but I really enjoyed this one! There are also Reddit and fanfic posts that are included in this book to show the impact of Mister Magic and really relatable adult looking back at childrens' memory stuff. And now I have the Barney tooth-brushing song stuck in my head.
