The Collectors by Jacqueline West
4.0
Jacqueline West is probably one of the best MG authors out there, and I think this book, plus her Books of Elsewhere series, prove it.
For instance. We have:
-A boy protagonist who is hard of hearing (honestly I love Van so much. I never got tired of reading in his POV)
-Lovely prose
-Mysterious societies that seem to be morally grey but really aren't as much as you think
-ADORABLE CREATURES WHO GRANT WISHES and then turn into giant psycho monsters but it's fine XD
-have I mentioned that Van can talk to animals? well, he can talk to animals
-Wish granting gone horribly wrong
-Some excellent side character plots that were way more developed than most MG subplots
<3 <3 <3 I cannot wait for book 2!
