The Prince of Nowhere by Rochelle Hassan
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of The Prince of Nowhere.
I adored this middle grade fantasy. The first page sucked me in and didn't let go through the entire book. (I may have stayed up to midnight to finish it...)
Hassan's book masterfully weaves family secrets, a mystery, and twists together. The themes of friendship and family come through in a subtle and satisfying way. It's an adventure story that keeps you on your toes!
I loved how Roda and Ignis work together—fighting, arguing, making up, disagreeing again. It felt so authentic to real kids. Roda's admiration for Aunt Dora has shaped her life and gives her the strength to keep going! When she receives notes from an anonymous writer, her life changes with Ignis. And I'm sorry, but I will not tell you who "anonymous"is and spoil the fun of you finding out for yourself.
If I chose words to describe my experience reading, they would include: chill, unexpected, feathers, danger, home, stars, hidden, fast, creepy, friends, and family.
I hope you pick up this book! Kids are going to adore it and want more! (I want more too!)
