The Talented Ribkins by Ladee Hubbard

2.0

2.5 stars. Two stars in Goodreads equates to "it was ok" and The Talented Ribkins was just about that for me. I learned of this book from an NPR librarian review, I believe, and was thrilled to have it in-hand. But alas, it wasn't engrossing, wasn't exciting, and those superpowers that the Ribkins family have? They missed the mark for me. Which is strange, because that's one of the things that made me so excited to read this book. Indeed, the "talents" of the Ribkins are a mantel upon which the book is marketed. But it wasn't a complete stinker of a book..."it was ok".
