christabelle_v 's review for:
The Unadoptables
by Hana Tooke
adventurous
emotional
hopeful
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
I enjoyed this book far more than I expected ,I mean it kept me enthralled and glued to it
I love found family, the bonds of the children and the mystery and the ending everything was tied up
I agree with other reviewers that Sem and Egg were kinda similar, I had trouble too and that the girls were fleshed out, but you rooted for each kid
And honestly clever well done story
Yes I can see how someone might think Rotman is 1 dimensional he was, but sometimes a classic villian is okay though I suppose more on why is bad, but he was so well described that it was fun
And yes a slight element of disbelief
I will say, there are some darker themes here, death and violence so know it isn't 100% light hearted
But it was a hopeful book in the end and a very fun enjoyable read and mystery
Also the title I don't think Says children with disabilities can't be adopted, rather that society and the villians viewed them that way. But I think the author makes a strong point that the children are are valued with skills and character. It is the villains and uneducated who see them as less
