The Unadoptables: Five fantastic children on the adventure of a lifetime
by Ayesha L. Rubio, Hana Tooke
I adored this book! I'm trying to read more broadly with different genres and authors and locations and I happened to step into the kids section of my library where The Unadoptables caught my eye. As a teacher, I want to read books aimed at young people regularly so I can recommend things to them and possibly bring them to class and my goodness this would be a great one for that.
The story was exciting and well-paced throughout. The characters were interesting, intriguing and well written. And even though it took me a little while to get to know who's who, I really enjoyed the array of characters.
I did find a few elements of the story quite predictable but honestly in a kids book, I expected a lot more of it to be predictable.
Also, the illustrations were wonderful! A lovely tease for each chapter without giving much away which was a pleasant surprise.
Overall an excellent read that I thoroughly enjoyed!
Borrowed from my local library.
