The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken
4.0
This book was so cute! In a creepy, supernatural sort of way. I don't read a lot of middle grade, but this reminded me of how fun that genre can be. I really loved these characters, especially Prosper and Nell. I even liked Alastor. (I mean, come on, who doesn't love a good villain?) I didn't know that this was going to be a series, but now that I do I'm so excited to see where things go!
Two complaints:
1. There was a period around the middle of the book that kind of dragged on for me. Things just got boring. It was a total lull. Didn't love that, obviously.
2. It was clear that there was more to the story than what Prosper was being told, but that ending was kind of crazy. I feel like everything happened in two pages. It just felt a little too fast and random to me.
Other than that, I loved this. And I need book two now.
