The New Policeman by Kate Thompson

3.0

I think the title is crappy but I liked the book. This story blends Irish folktales and culture in a fantasy novel that's not too out there and complex to understand so that most young adults would probably enjoy reading this book. It's about J.J., a young teenager talented at playing the violin, who discovers his family secrets and finds a new world in his quest to stop time from speeding up. I think this is a great book for middle grade students, the main character is younger and relatable to that age group.
