What a journey! If you read this be sure to pick up an illustrated copy (are all publications illustratated?). The visuals and layout of the story work hand in hand with the writing, creating an immersive tale. The art and the cover are absolutely brilliant! 

This story would have completely taken me in (and terrified me) if I had read it as a child. The book format makes it all so real. I hope we get to see more books of this nature as publishing evolves.
