The Book of G by Lily Archer
Did not finish book. Stopped at 24%.
2.5 Stars, if I could rate it.
I think the side characters like Madge were my favorite part. Madge especially had such a FUNNY and sassy personality. I also really like how the author made G dyslexic. It "explains" why he thought reading was stupid in the Disney movie.
What made me so unexcited to read this that I ran out of time and DNF'd it was the lack of a solid sense of time in this story. The adventure to find the source of the Spriggans, traveling and suddenly having to battle a blizzard when the weather seemed temperate, and the way they seemed to always have rotting food in their bag when it felt like they had just received it just threw off my sense of time and place and put me off of the story as a whole.
